That is gorgeous! I've never seen this in sheet form before. This one holds special interest for me because I've got a BEP vignette proof of Washington that was used as the portrait for this note.
Matt... How in the World did this make it to a Mall? Was there a show? I will have to look up my sheet records... Most excellent!!
I have seen the fractional shields before, I have heard of partial sheets of fractional currency, first time I have seen a full sheet. A question for the Pashas of paper, were the fractional currency sheets the same paper that was used for the legal tender notes, or was it made especially for the fractional notes?
Matt may not answer this sort of question publicly for many reasons, but you could try to send a private message.
I'll answer it like this. These are rather expensive... A very similar piece last sold at Heritage for $2550.
I wondered about that. It's in the intersection of the margins in the lower left -- not the typical place for a plate number. Any clue to what that indicates?
