oldbucks Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 That's really cool! I've never seen a fractional specimen before - nor any specimen that was printed on one side only. That's a great acquisition there, Oldbucks! Thanks for posting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
