To compose many currency collections is either impossible or very expensive. A Military Payment Certificate Fractional Collection is a very easy collection to put together and not that costly. The Fractional notes are 5 cent, 10 cent, 25 cent, and 50 cent notes. The complete Fractional Set requires 52 notes from Series 461 through Series 692.

The nickname "Porthole" comes from the heavy circular design in which Lincoln's portrait appears. The portrait of Lincoln was engraved by Charles Burt after a photograph taken by Anthony Berger in Mathew Brady's Portrait Studio in Washington, D.C. On the reverse appears the Obverse of the Great Seal of the United States, engraved by Robert Ponickau.

The Handel is the rarest pass of the Columbian Exposition held in Chicago, IL in 1863. Like the Franklin it wasn't part of the original run, but printed later in a very limited quantity making it the "key" to completing the set of the portrait series of Exposition passes.

The Treasury Department in the 1920’s was purchasing allot special paper to print currency. They realized that the cost of printing large size notes was costing a premium and realized that millions would be saved if they reduced the size of the notes. On July 10, 1929 the first of the smaller sized notes were printed and put into circulation. The Legal Tender, Gold Certificates, Silver Certificates, Federal Reserve Notes, and National Banks Notes were the first small size notes printed.

With a very impressive holder that is packed with information Mike McNeil has collectively put together everything you need to know about a Confederate Note.

This holder has allot going for it with the date of the Act, Rarity, Signers, Plate Position and Special Notes. These are just a few of the more importants comments that are noted so take the time to study this new grading service.

Also very important is his pricing structure which is very reasonable and comparable to the industry.

Years ago the main problem in collecting World Paper money was the lack of documentation. Forty years ago there were only a few catalogs of information on currency mostly by country. The first Standard Catalog of World Paper Money in 1975 provided collectors with a listing and valuations of all recorded government note issues. Now the World Currency Collector had a guide on what the fare market value was for a note and foreign currency collecting has been really increasing over the years. With the middle class growing in many countries and especially in China the hobby has truly taken off.

They were to control the black market and to keep U.S. cash from getting into the hands of our enemies. Very few MPC's were saved as soldiers were given just a few days notice before an old series became worthless and a new series came into effect.
