FRACTIONAL CURRENCY SHIELD SITE SOUGHT

  Speaking of changed web addresses, Michael J. Sullivan
  writes: "Here is an extract from The E-Sylum v6n49.
  Does anyone know what happened to this web site?  It
  had great content, but can no longer be located."

  This week's featured web page is Shannon and Paul
  Burkhard's page on U.S. Fractional Currency Shields.

  "Fractional Currency Shields consisted of a printed shield-
  shaped background (nearly always gray in color, but
  sometimes pink or green) on which were pasted by hand
  39 different Specimen (printed on one side only) Fractional
  Currency notes, typically consisting of 20 fronts and 19
  backs, all from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd issues."

  [The fractionalnotes.com web site is indeed gone.  A
  web search did not turn up a relocated site.  Can anyone
  help?   By the way, the search did turn up a page using
  the identical text to describe Fractional Currency Shields.
  The text is on the Harry Bass Foundation web site, in
  text taken from the Bowers and Merena sales of the Bass
  holdings.   Perhaps the Burkhards borrowed the text from
  there.  Here's the address:
