The present work was finished in 1992. In the same year Tomás Stohr has published in Caracas his extensive and handsome volume "Macuquinas de Venezuela". His work concentrates principally on the Venezuelan issues although it does touch upon some of the coins discussed in this work. Even though the present work does not duplicate much of his information but rather complements and widens its scope, for one reason or another it had to wait until now for its publication.

From the Introduction --

The American Bank Note Company in the United Sates of America was responsible for printing the majority of the paper money used by most of the Latin American countries between 1870 and 1970. For over one hundred years the American Bank Note Company produced some of the most beautiful banknotes ever made, and the quality of its work had earned the trust and respect from the world.

About fifteen years ago, the American Bank Note Company made a very important decision, due to the fact that most of their previous customers hadn’t used their services for more than twenty years. A large number of countries that used to buy banknotes from the American Bank Note Company started producing their own banknotes in locally operated security printing companies. At that point, the American Bank Note Company decided to break down the archives department and sell a large amount of specimen and proof banknotes they had in their possession, through a series of auctions.

The auctions were very successful; the quality of the banknotes offered was truly spectacular, and the only down side was the fact that the archives had been broken apart forever. The archives department had very important records for thousands of different banknotes. These records deserved to be saved as a part of the American Bank Note Company history and the history of so many private banks and government issuing authorities throughout Latin America.

The objective of this book is to record all available information on banknotes produced by the American Bank Note Company to all Latin American countries from Argentina through Venezuela. Of course, as in any other historical research project, not every piece of information was found; but still, taking in consideration the period that this book covers and the number of banknotes listed (almost two thousand different banknotes from twenty different countries) one can say this is a very complete book.

This is a reference work; many of the banknotes listed in this book are very rare, and some only had been listed in the past as specimens and proofs. Today these banknotes have complete records with production dates, quantities printed, serial numbers and much more. Over the years one of the aspects of banknote collecting that was always in demand was knowledge. Publishing this book will establish a valuable tool for collectors and historians and I hope you may find it informative and exciting.

This book presents a study about the coinage of cobs coins that circulated in Venezuela during the colonial era and during the Independence War.

An easy-to-use, officially approved grading standards for every United States coin. The book contains important information on:
--Brief highlights of wear pinpointed for each grade
--Easy-to-follow descriptions for thirteen standard conditions
--Black and white photographs show progression of wear
--Easy-to-use guide shows how to grade U.S. coins quickly and accurately
--Lists every type of U.S. coins from 1793 to the present
--Aspects of grading to all U.S. coins
--Indispensable aid to the proper grading of all U.S. coins
--Beginners, advanced collectors and dealers will all find the text understandable and useful

What an undertaking this book was -- 48 pages of gorgeous color, spectacular black-and-white images throughout, the grading standards of the Professional Coin Grading Service published in a book for the first time -- this is truly the book no serious coin collector can do without! I worked with the top names in coin grading on this one, and I basically had to just sit back and marvel at their expertise. This was a challenge to produce, but an incredible achievement.

Every 19th century coin is identified in this complete one-volume reference to tens of thousands of coins. Specialists, collectors, and dealers use this as their standard for identifying and evaluating coins issued from 1801 to 1900.

This formidable work manages to be comprehensive despite the scope and ambiguities of the period covered. The listings of coins themselves are in step with very recent numismatic discoveries. Accompanying photographs to many of the coinages are clear and fairly representative. Now, the length with which German issues are treated may surprise some, but this may be due to availability of records. Also, the prices quoted for most coins in general seem very approximate at best (particulary for issues from within many Spanish dominions), but this is only to be expected of a publication that must remain usable over several inflationary years. As a reference in identifying coins from the world of the 17th century, this Standard Catalog will stand one in good stead indeed!

Taking world coin collecting by storm, this annual best-seller is the only single volume available offering complete coverage from 1901 to the present day. Over one million prices are catalogued with more than 48,700 obverse and reverse illustrations to make coin identification fast and easy.

Thoroughly researched, all prices are updated to reflect current market values and are given in US dollars. Includes essential reference information such as a how-to-use tutorial, international numeric guide, identification charts, foreign exchange rates and much more.
