A STANDARD CATALOG OF UNITED STATES OBSOLETE BANK NOTES, 1782-1866
From NBSwiki
The One Hundred Greatest Items Of United States Numismatic Literature Rank: Number 50
Along with Walter Breen’s Complete Encyclopedia Of U.S. And Colonial Coins (#1), and Bowers' Silver Dollars And Trade Dollars Of The United States (#22), Haxby is one of the modern encyclopedic references whose popularity on the secondary market has substantially grown in recent years, and today the four volume set easily trades at five hundred dollars and up. Cataloguing thousands of state bank notes, the work is evocative of Fulds’ U.S. Civil War Store Cards (#43), meandering through the country from city to city in search of an economic paper trail. Complementing the catalog are thousands of photographs, a rich iconography proclaiming the ideals of a young American republic. Indeed, the author indicates that over twenty thousand photographs were taken during the original research, an immense illustrative investment which extraordinarily enhances the presentation.
