1862-1876 Fractional Note Set

Enrich your collection with this set of 3 scarce notes from the Civil War era. Beginning in 1862, the U.S. government issued small-denomination notes to help solve a severe coin shortage. These sought-after Fractional Currency notes were produced for fourteen years in six different denominations. But, of the millions of notes originally issued, over 99% have been destroyed. Now you can own 3 different denominations – the 25¢, 10¢ and scarcer 3¢ notes! Only one design was ever issued for the 3¢ Fractional note, since it was printed for just a few months until its replacement by the nickel 3¢ piece. This short-lived note features a portrait of George Washington on the face. Order now to enjoy 3 genuine artifacts from a dramatic chapter in America's history.
