50c Face Proof Second Issue
Grade: PCGS Abt. New 53PPQ    

---

A lovely and rare example of this face proof that is not the same as most other second issue experiments that are known. This piece is virtually identical to the notes found in the Fractional Currency Presentation Books. The depth of printing detail is phenomenal and the paper is as bright as one could hope to find. Rare also due to the fact that it is uncancelled without the usual half moon cancels and stamped 'SPECIMEN.' There are believed to be either two or three known with the last bringing over $1,500 last year in a PCGS XF 45 holder. This note is clearly superior and so should the price it realizes once the hammer falls. Ex: John J. Ford, Jr. Collection.
