I have a 1829 50 cent coin and a 1863 paper 25 cent "fractional currency" note that I don't see on any seatch I do. the coin I know.t has a liberty head on one side and eagle on the other. They were carried by my grandfather when he came west to washingon. any help? I do not plan on selling them, I just would like to let my mom know I looked them up. thanks Jim
Jim - See if this is the half dollar - Capped Bust Half Dollar As for the fractional currency note - I would need more information to be able to help you out. But feel free to look through this web site under the Currency Category and see if you can find a picture of it. http://gdjmsp.numisaddict.com/
