Post your Fractionals

I've got some more cuban fractionals around here someplace.
The top posted fractional I picked up yesterday. The top edge of it feels rough almost as if it was perforated.

Yeah, I am, too. Duke, pretty much every one of the images you posted looks like it's been moved or deleted. Is it me or is there some weird connection that keeps breaking between Photobucket and CT?

 

How did I find this

 

Zombie thread, but what the heck.

 

I put together an almost complete type set of fractional currency in the late 1980s. The 50 Postal Currency was the perforated edges was one of the hardest to find.



I paid the most money for this group. This 15 cent note was made only as an essay. When I was in the market, I saw pieces that had been glued together, back and front, in an attempt to make a complete note. These are the so-called "wide margin" pieces.

I can post any of the others, if there is an interest.

Sometimes it's good to bring back a "zombie thread" or maybe it's better to do "Frankenstein" and create a new one.

That's a nice Fourth Issue 15 cent note BTW, @benveniste.

 

Picked this up in early May. I'm ten notes away from completing a fractional type set.

 

Thanks for the bump @benveniste!

I believe these wide margin "proofs" were originally printed specifically for the fractional shields. Here's a full sheet from the BEP Certified Proofs in the Smithsonian: https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1621664
