Description

Milton 2E50R.2 50¢ Second Issue Negative Essay Experimental PMG Choice Uncirculated 64 EPQ. Although this is not the same piece, it is identical to lot 16343 of our O'Mara sale which we described: "This Wide Margin Negative Essay Experimental printing has the bronze "D-5-18-63" Conner surcharges as well as the large "50" surcharge. It was originally item #23 [36 on this note] on Ed Frossard's special list #8 issued October 1, 1893. On that list, Frossard had mistaken the Old English "D" for a "B." He did that in every instance where this surcharge appears. Frossard's penned "23" [36] appears lightly in the upper right corner of the blank back. It was described on that list, "50¢ Carmine Back, with large skeleton 50 in gold; B-5-18-63 in corners. White fibrous paper," and priced at $2.00. This is one of the few instances where the "D-5-18-63" surcharge appears on a uniface Wide Margin note."
