US CURRENCY 1864 10 CENT FRACTIONAL Old Paper Money F 1864 10 CENT FRACTIONAL NOTE THIRD ISSUE This is a distinctively different note from most US Currency. It is one of the HARDEST TO FIND-- Extra SMALL SIZE FRACTIONAL NOTES , the 1864 $.10 US NOTE , in FINE condition in my opinion, but you can judge for yourself to make the final decision in these photos which can be enlarged . It has the small portrait of President George Washington. It is green on the reverse and was printed in 1864 during the US Civil War under President ABRAHAM LINCOLN. In the years of the US Civil War starting in 1862 there was a critical shortage of coins. It became such a problem that for 14 years the government issued small size notes called FRACTIONAL CURRENCY. This was from the third issue of fractional paper money ever issued by the USA. It does not have the number 1 on the obverse as far as I can see. The note is intact despite its age, with 4 full corners, good color contrast with no writing, ink, stains, or tears. There are signs of normal use like folds. It has very minor edge wear and 2 pin holes. These were cut by hand using scissors and its a bit off center. T his is nice looking example of old paper money especially for a small size fractional note which are often very worn out when they are found. This is about as old as US money gets. read more
