Requesting the addition of reference "Friedburg Guide Book of United States Currency" [resuelto]

Hello,

I attempted to add a US banknote to the Numista catalog and because I own the "Friedburg Guide Book of United States Currency" which is a very popular guide book and reference for US banknotes I decided I would use that as the reference for the page. When I didn't see a reference for this catalog I figured It was worth a new forum topic.

Here is the newest edition to my knowledge:
https://www.amazon.com/Guide-United-States-Paper-Money-dp-079484829X/dp/079484829X/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

I don't know if it was added after your post but that reference exists. Also I think we should use P# as primary reference and any other reference as secondary, third etc. This way we can avoid duplicates.

​If this reference already exists than what is its letters? I looked all over the Numista references and don't see it. I also believe P# is just for world banknotes but i'm not sure. Either way in the USA Fr# is always used PMG, PCGS banknotes, etc. I have never seen any grading company or dealer use anything but Friedberg catalog for US banknotes.

So this letter combination is already used ... but were have you found the reference I couldn't find it?
Reference list

My bad...is not the one I listed.

I thought this is the reference used for this banknote. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/note223465.html But it is a mistake, somebody used a reference for gold coins on US notes. I will ask for corrections. Also I stand by what I said before, as we should use P# references first (when available). Other references can be added but P should be first. Where is the consistency if we use P# for most of the listings and we use other references for some countries? US notes are world notes too.

To US people "world" in currency is any country but the US. Any more new on the addition of this frequently used reference?

​You can use more than one reference per coin/banknote page.

And where do you see I said you can't? I

"I also believe P# is just for world banknotes but i'm not sure. Either way in the USA Fr# is always used PMG, PCGS banknotes, etc. I have never seen any grading company or dealer use anything but Friedberg catalog for US banknotes."

The Friedberg catalog should be listed (if it has not) since it is the most authoritative reference for US currency. But I agree with "allexis" that Numista employ the Krause Pick # system used in the Standard Catalog of World Paper Money for world notes to keep a sense of consistency.

On a side note:
Most TPG holder will use the local (most authoritative) catalog # system so that's why you see the Fr# for US notes on PMG holders. The same holds true for Bank of Canada notes on most holders (BC-# code system from Charlton codes). Australian banknotes use Rennicks (R#) , etc.

​Do you know who has the authority to list it?

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestion. This was added as Fr US#, because Fr is occupied.

Referees are free to choose the order of the catalogues in the list of references, but they should be consistent for all notes of a particular issuer. On the coin side, the more authoritative and complete catalogue should be used first.

Best regards
