Anyone collect US Fractionals?

I am a long time coin collector, and only got into the currency side of the house a few years ago. (Around 2020)
Anyway, a couple of years ago, I discovered US fractional notes and Military Payment Certificates. I am really enjoying putting together a graded US fractional type set! What a fun and relatively affordable series to assemble. I am really enjoying these lovely little notes!
This is kind of a niche market I guess, since I rarely see anyone mention them?

Nice set...keep collecting Fractionals...sooo much history, varieties and ways to collect!...I have a few
i got all of two notes. yours are very nice, i like
That is quite the understatement lol!
Seeing how your avatar is Francis Spinner, I get the feeling that fractionals might be your specialty?
I put together a type set several years ago. They are very cool.
They are an excellent conversation starter for sure! Very few people know they exist, and think they are fake when I show them.
I like a lot of different types of currency, but fractions are where my heart is! I’ve got a little over 20 examples.
Here are one or two of my favorites:

Like that Lincoln @asheland
Indeed, I was very proud to add that to the collection!

Very nice @asheland ! I really love the series too. I'm not as particular as to grade as long as the note looks bold.
Here is another that I didn't post previously. I can't remember where I bought it, so it might have been the first fractional that I picked up.

Link doesn't seem to be working...
I’m sad to report actually, of all the different things I collect, fractions have been neglected the longest, the last note I bought was this one…
October 2021! Almost 3 years… 😞

What I meant by "my fractionals" is that they won the registry best US collection. https://pmgnotes.com/news/article/8817/2020-PMG-Registry-Awards/?utm_source=The%20Mx%20Group&utm_medium=Email%20Blast&utm_campaign=21-PM-0491&utm_content=VAT%20-%20Database%20Email%201%20-%20ProfitTime%202.0%20Reveal&mkt_tok=eyJpIjoiTXpBM01qUTJOV0UzTW1VMCIsInQiOiJhVmltU3hpQklFdHBlM1JGcVBxckhpZFdEU1NnTkVVY29lNG9iV2lmczVvVDlJcGFRdWlvdDBEVG5QSlY1MWQ1S2lqUEQ0b2xIRGtSd2V6Mm8yNjdzcGk0Z2JoUHdHTDBoSFd3RUw3MVc3ZUJ1NzAzMUNWcmNSTUh3Q3Y0Q085TiJ9
@tomtomtomtom Wow! That is a VERY impressive set! I see you have been assembling your registry set for 12 years almost.
If you ever have extras you want to sell, let me know. I might take them off your hands! I am only working on the Type set, not a complete set. Maybe in the future...
Thanks for sharing! Do you have any plans to image your fractionals for the registry?
Really attractive 150+ year old notes that are a fraction of the price of their larger cousins.
I am definitely craving a new note!
