<Our item number 135099><B>1864, 3¢ Fractional Currency. Third Issue, light background to portrait. PCGS Very Choice New 64. Fr-<B>1226</B>. KL-3252.</B> This fractional piece is one of about 100 pieces that were originally part of one lot in the 1964 Stack&#39;s sale of the George O. Walton Collection, famous for its inclusion of one of the five known 1913 Liberty Head Nickels. After Mr. Walton passed away in a car crash in 1963, his family was mistakenly told that the coin was fake. It sat in a closet in North Carolina for the next 40 years, only to reappear and be correctly authenticated at a coin convention after a reward for its reappearance was offered. This 3 cent piece, pedigreed to that same collection, is an attractive well-margined example. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;125 - 150. <I><BR>Ex: George O. Walton Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 135099<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/135099.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/47jpegs/135099N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
