Its a 3rd Issue Fractional $.50 Fr.1324spnmb (specimen, narrow margin back) in AU condition. It sports bright paper and vivid red printing. The overstamp has exceptional bronzing void of any oxidation and still shines. You can see from the blank side of the specimen how the watermark is very evident. A great note that is over 140 years old.
