Description

Third Issue
Fr. 1299. 25 Cent. Third Issue. PMG Extremely Fine 40.
A classic fractional rarity that has solid bronze surcharge on face and which is printed on fiber paper. Uncommon as a problem free EF note. For whatever reason, the solid surcharge fiber paper Fessenden notes were printed on a much coarser and more brittle fiber paper. These are commonly seen in the Fine-Very Fine grade range with tears, paper chips, stains, etc. A high-grade example found in a comment-free holder is not an everyday occurrence. We sold a PCGS About New 55 for $900 in our ANA sale last year.
Estimate: $800 - $1200
