Abstract

Description

A guide providing the values of the historic passenger license plates of the United States and Canada. Each state and province is presented through a table listing the year of issue of each license plate and a condition rating from 1 (mint) to 5 (fair) with values in U.S. dollars for each year/condition combination for which the editors had data. Some combinations are left blank, such as mint examples of early plates, where there was insufficient data to draw conclusions on valuation. Remarks are provided for select years when specific materials, methods of validation, slogans, and other notable features were used. A final column notes if passenger license plates were issued as singles or pairs. A chart listing registration data from the first eight years of registration and then every five years up to 1975 follows each jurisdiction's value chart. An introductory section reviews license plate identification, grading, the impact of pairs and "shorties" on value, slogans and materials used in license plate construction, comments on the impact of internet auctions on the hobby, and a table of abbreviations used in the book. A narrative section follows the valuation tables describing the passenger license plates of the United States from 1957 accompanied by black and white images of representative license plates. A concluding section provides advice on license plate collecting, a discussion of the evolution of registration systems and optional license plates. Ninth edition.
