<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 774598, member: 17469&quot;]I know nothing about the fractional currency market, but as a long time paper collector I can certainly say that in the &quot;olde days&quot;, finding notes in my area of collecting was far simpler. I could contact dealers and virtually all of them would have some nice French area notes in UNC condition, ready to sell me. I&#039;m happy I was buying at the time, but I wish I&#039;d had more money to pour in to them. Now, I find it very difficult to find such notes at all, searching far and wide.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why do I mention it? Well, from external appearances if I contacted a dealer today for a price list, or looked at an online price list of notes available, or even did a search on eBay for quality French banknotes, I can tell you that very little would show up. I could easily take this to mean that the market was not as popular. I could hang around CoinTalk as well, and while its a great forum, I might get the impression that very few people collect non-US material. </p><p><br /></p><p>So as I say, I know little of the market for fractional US currency, but is there a chance that rather than being &quot;not popular&quot; it is a very specialized field, with a small set of collectors looking only for absolutely top quality notes.... like many other areas of collecting?</p><p><br /></p><p>Dave[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
