Lot 272: Fractional Currency Shield

Washington, D.C., Fractional Currency Shields were designed to be used in banks and post offices for counterfeit detection. Printed between June 1866 and May 1869, they were composed of 39 First,Second, and Third issue notes. There are 20 faces and 19 backs, all uniface specimens. All of the notes are clean and bright except for the 25¢ 2nd Issue back which has faded to light blue as usual.There are 4 hand signed notes with 3 being Jeffries-Spinner and the 10¢ 3rd Issue, being a Colby-Spinner. The gray background is bright and sharply printed with the stars and eagle with minimal waterstaining only on the bottom edge, though there are some light foxing areas, still a superior example of this popular fractional shield. The frame that is oft-times referred to as original iscontemporary since the shields were all shipped flat and unframed. An exceptional example rarely seen offered this nice.
