If you’re doing an exhibit for a show by Don Kelly does a comprehensive job on the Obsolete notes from all over the country. The best book on Small Size U.S. is the ninth or 10th edition of by Schwartz and Lindquist. It is out of print, but you can track down a copy on the Internet. This book tells you all you need to know to get started on Small Size notes.
