The E-Sylum: Volume 10, Number 40, October 7, 2007, Article 7 NEW BOOK: TREMMEL'S 'A GUIDE BOOK OF COUNTERFEIT CONFEDERATE CURRENCY' [Another upcoming Whitman release is an update to the classic reference on Confederate counterfeits. The following is from material provided by publisher Dennis Tucker. -Editor] "Until now, George B. Tremmel's groundbreaking Counterfeit Currency of the Confederate States of America was the definitive reference in this fascinating collectibles field. In the new Guide Book of Counterfeit Confederate Currency, Tremmel not only updates his note-by-note study, but also expands his research into counterfeit bonds, shinplasters, and Treasury note sheets. Along the way he immerses the reader in an engaging history of the events and people involved in the production and passing of counterfeits during the Civil War, and the countermeasures the Confederate Treasury Department took to protect its paper money. "The book will debut in early October at the Whitman Coin and Collectibles Atlanta Expo, where Tremmel is scheduled to give a presentation on the subject. "Features of the Guide Book of Counterfeit Confederate Currency: * Two new appendices: bogus (fantasy) signatures and margin imprint locations * Expanded historical narrative, with additional illustrations * Three new chapters: shinplasters, bonds, and note sheets * Revised rarity ratings based on empirical data * Comprehensive catalog with detailed images * Market valuations in multiple grade levels * More than 350 full-color images * Extensive endnotes and bibliography * Complete index with 450+ entries " Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature.
