New french banknotes price guide La Cote des Billets is available!

The 2019 edition of La Cote des Billets de la Banque de France et du Trésor integrates recent statistical data and new finds and reflects the French and foreign market reality. This price guide bilingual french-english thus stems from the merger between collectors and professionals. By offering reliable information and up-to-date quotes, it meets the true expectations of hobbyists.

As with Le Franc (paperback edition), we made two important choices: a reduced and handy format, and a bilingual French-English edition offering collectors worldwide the possibility to get to know the Banque de France’'s and the Trésor's notes with the most comprehensive tool possible.

The 2019 paperback edition of La Cote des Billets de la Banque de France et du Trésor is intended for all beginners or accomplished collectors. Its first pages provide educational information and list the basics of “how to collect properly”. Quotations are provided for all of the 19^th c. issuances (less the lines we decided to remove), and then for all the 20^th c. issuances, from the 5 Francs Noir note to the 500 Francs Pierre et Marie Curie. Lastly, the chapter on the Trésor's notes is more comprehensive and detailed than in the previous editions.

Each note comes with an illustration and a description. All the necessary information for its classification is clearly provided: its dates of issuance, signatures, format, the number of notes issued, and a brief description. As a whole, the Fayette's classic references have been kept and each quotation line is now comprised of 6 columns, from grade Very Good to grade Uncirculated.

Other innovations were introduced in order to better stick to today’s market. We quoted alphabets A.1, specified the known variants of specimens and added the most classic proof notes. As for the section about error notes from the latest range of notes, it was thoroughly revised in order to make it easier to understand. The Trésor'sissuances are listed by series and/or alphabetical order.

Given that the former edition of the Cote des Billets dates from 2015, the 2,700 quotation lines were all revised for the 2019 paperback edition. There are numerous corrections and updates which give the most realistic and in-depth vision of the actual market – as much for common low-graded notes as for great rarities.
