Description
Highest PMG Graded Fr. 1296 67 EPQ
Fr. 1296 25¢ Third Issue PMG Superb Gem Unc 67 EPQ.A rare Friedberg number with the extremely large "a" that is 7mm to the lower right of its normal position. This unusual size and placement occurred only on plate number 144, which was one of 146 face and back plates used for this issue and denomination. This information was originally published in Paper Money, "Fractional Currency Plate Information Second and Third Issues", Volume XI Number 2, Whole No. 42 Spring 1972, pages 80-85. The census for Fr. 1296 currently is in the ballpark of around two dozen known. This rare Fractional is a beauty, with deep, original embossing, unusually wide margins on all four sides, and attractive bronzing. PMG has examined a dozen examples of this number with this piece sitting alone by itself at the top. It is a truly important Fractional that belongs in the finest of collections. We have auctioned this 25¢ note twice before. This piece realized $11,500 in January 2010 and in January 2013 the final price was $11,750. As this premium example combines both rarity and quality, we certainly expect our current offering to quickly overtake those earlier amounts.
