Hi Neighbor!

I've been an IBNS member for some time and now that I'm retired, I have joined the Oklahoma City Coin Club, ANA, & now SPMC.  The SPMC journals are great, with in depth articles and I now received my first News & Notes.  It is very useful, with several links of interest.  I see you mention new books, so I thought I would mention I have addeed American Bank Note Company Test Notes catalog to the list of books I have published.   The others are also on test notes, but too large to economically print in color (500+ & 800+ pages).  Here are some specifics of the ABNC book:

  • All 90 ABNC test, advertising, color sample, promotional, salesman's sample notes, including 148 sub-varieties.
  • All 148 notes from 26 known printer firms producing test notes that were predecessors or were acquired by ABNC from 1850 forward.
  • All COLOR NOTE IMAGES
  • Attributing 1,701 with over twice as many sub-varieties, such as date, logo, address, color, material, security device differences, and others.
  • 86 pages, spiral bound book with 65# white laser glossy paper cover to allow laying book on flat surface.
  • Current catalog values
  • Cross reference "family trees" of all firms that formed the American Bank Note Company

Information on all the catalogs is available at the test note page of my website here:
