1875 Fractional 50 cent issue

Here is my only Fractional and oldest Federal piece of currency. Had it not had what appears to be a thumbtack hole, it would probably be the second highest condition note in my collection!





I paid $20 in March of this year...

Nice note! The fractional notes are pretty neat!

 

Awesome!

I love these things. There are a lot of them posted on a thread from a couple days ago.

 

You did well for $20 ! Nice Fractional.

 

nice note, and yes not a bad price. Fractionals are a cool series to collect. Most of them can be had be decent prices in mid-range grades. They of course can get very pricey in higher grades lol

 

I Love the 5th Issue Bob Hope Notes... they say everyone has a twin???

Another twin on fractional ,one of " The Smith Brothers" on Luden's cough drops.

 

LOL, it sure does look it, doesn't it? The funny thing about that...they were local to me. Based in Poughkeepsie, NY, which is ALMOST within walking distance to me!

 

Seperated at Birth

Perhaps I should contact Oliver Stone with this Stanton (Lincoln's Sectary of War) separated at birth Smith brother's triplet conspiracy theory !

 

You're right RickieB it does resemble Bob Hope. Billy, that note is a nice addition for your collection. :thumb:
