Description
Fr. 1382 Fractional Currency Shield With Gray Background.Shields were made available to banks and other institutions for counterfeit detection at a price of $4.50, shipping included. They were prepared between June 1867 and June 1868 and are composed of 39 First, Second, and Third Issue notes. There are 20 faces and 19 backs, all uniface and closely trimmed. The 25¢ Second Issue back has faded to the usual blue-gray color. We do not see any ink erosion in the two hand-signed Colby-Spinner notes and the two hand-signed Jeffries-Spinner examples. Scattered foxing and flaking of the gray background is observed along with a left edge moisture spot. This spot does not interfere with any notes. Moisture spots on Shields are frequently encountered due to inadequate government storage many years ago due to the lack of original demand. This gray background Shield is not graded. It has been professionally mounted in a vintage frame where wood has been added to outline the shield under glass. It certainly has an appropriate period appearance. Overall dimensions are approximately 24 by 29 inches. It is a delightful example that is ready for hanging.
