Fractional Speci Fr. 1324spnmb

Here is a new addition to my inventory I was pleased to pick up. 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.

Jeff what can I say other than that is lovely, great addition to your collection :thumb:

 

i agree! nice addition! i dont think i have ever seen a fractional specimen!

 

Jeff,

Nice note!
That 3S05F.7 has a rairity factor of "3" in the Encyclopedia of Postage and Fractional Currency!
Most "Specimens" are not watermarked and you can clearly see the "A" on this note!
The Paper used for this was white CSA paper

Thanks for sharing such a nice piece with us!
