Wait, George W. MAINE OBSOLETE PAPER MONEY AND SCRIP. Krause Publications, Iola. 1977. 4to. (2), 268, (2) pages. original maroon cloth, gilt. First edition. Map. References. b&w currency photos throughout. English text. Fine. This book is an essential diagnostic tool for identifying and valuing the diverse paper currency issued in Maine between 1782 and 1866. Rather than just a history, it functions as a comprehensive catalog of "broken bank" notes, merchant scrip, and local municipal issues that circulated before the federal government standardized US currency. Its primary value lies in the detailed rarity scales and descriptions that help collectors distinguish between common notes and high-value rarities, making it a "bible" for anyone specializing in New England numismatics. Lot weight: 2 lbs 3oz. Subject(s): United States Paper Money.
