Description
Very High Grade Fr. 1296
Fr. 1296 25¢ Third Issue PMG Gem Uncirculated 66 EPQ.This is the rare variety with the extremely large "a" sheet position indicator 7mm to the lower right of its normal position. This shifted position occurred only on face plate 144, which was one of 90 plates used. This information was originally researched by Martin Gengerke at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing Archives in Washington, DC. PMG has graded no other examples equal at this lofty level and just two Fr. 1296 notes higher within a single grade point. We auctioned the 67 EPQ example for $9,600 in October 2022. The current quality example in this lot is from the Howard Cohen Collection.
