The collection of French paper money is a healthy market. The number of hobbyists in France and abroad increasing and prices are booming. Collecting without an updated reference manual is an impossible thing to do. This new edition of La Cote des Billets has been fully revised and updated with a new appearance, fresh notes and all the latest price references added to it. Its clearer layout and larger format make it a handy and indispensible tool with spaces for personal notes and boxes to tick by collectors.
Each and every banknote comes with an illustration and description. All the necessary information to classify it is clearly provided: its issuance day, signatures, format, number of notes issued, brief description. As a general rule, the standard Fayette references have been kept, and each price line is broken into 6 columns from grade Very Good to grade Uncirculated. All the introductions, glossaries, and explanations have been translated into English.
Over 600 notes provide information on alphabets, the series known or those on which an eye should be kept. Around 180 more general notes introduce the price tables with further details about types. The second part of the price tables is now dedicated to highlight specimens, final proofs, counterfeits and error notes. The Chapter on unissued and test notes has been deleted, and we are already working on a second volume dedicated to these notes as well as to trial and proof notes exclusively. La Cote des Billets is a complete book for both professionals and hobbyists.
