Fractional Currency Shield with grey background

Lot Title:	Fractional Currency Shield with grey background
Lot Number:	29
Description:	This gray background shield is one of 4,500 produced from 1866 through 1867 with thirty-nine specimens. It appears that the Grant-Sherman note is hand signed, however tape does obstruct the upper part of this rare note. The top 25-percent of the sheet appears to have a fold that was subsequently taped many years ago to keep the notes in place. With regards to the frame and background, both look to be in excellent condition, and the wood is likely at least seventy-five years old. A great opportunity to own a masterpiece of American history (Jay Laws).

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
