Pink Fractional Currency Shield
Grade: xxx    

---

No major IPMS sale would be complete without a Fractional Currency shield. The gray shields number in the low to mid hundreds and are by far the most available. The green shields are the scarcest with about a dozen known and the pink shields are also quite scarce with a figure of around two dozen. Housed, as they all are, in a contemporary frame that was not part of the BEP issue. The shield is surrounded by black matting, which only enhances the bold pink color of the shield itself. All four of the hand-signed Colby-Spinner notes are seen, which includes the Fr. 1273SP Grant-Sherman specimen that is only found on green and pink shields, but not the gray shields. Fractional Currency shields are easily the most important and widely sought after item by both fractional and non-fractional collectors, due to their status essentially as a work of art that can be displayed proudly by the owner. Virtually always a five-figure price is required to obtain such an elusive treasure. Cut out from border as strong a pink color as I've ever seen.
