Fr. 1339SP 50c Third Issue
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65

The present example is the only one that PCGS has graded and, with only a dozen or so known, will likely remain at the top of the census for years to come. These were not sold in the specimen sets prepared at the Treasury and are not seen on shields. When these are encountered, which is not often, they typically fall in the XF or AU grade range. The only recent sale we can find is from a 2012 Spink sale where one graded AU sold for over $2,000.
