Fr. 1376 50c Fourth Issue Top Pop
Grade: PMG Superb Gem UNC 67 EPQ

Of the roughly 500 notes graded at both services, this stands alone as the only Superb Gem of the whole bunch. Leviathan margins and micrometer-perfect centering are complemented by crackerjack embossing and flawless color. A bold swath of blue color is seen on the right side of the note which only attests to its originality and beauty. This has become the golden child of later fractional types as for the past several years well-heeled collectors have become infatuated with obtaining as many high-grade examples as they can get their hands on. Well this is the best of the best and considering that we just saw a PMG Gem 66 EPQ sell for $1,725 at FUN, our guess is that the present example could see close to double that amount.
