First Fr. 1297 Multiple Offered By Heritage
Fr. 1297 25¢ Third Issue Uncut Block of Eight PMG About
Uncirculated 55.The first multiple that we have offered on this Friedberg number and this is also the largest block that we have offered for any of the Fessenden numbers save for the Fr. 1291 that we auctioned earlier in this session. This block of eight previously resided in the Ford Collection and it consists of the second and third columns of four removed from a twelve subject sheet. Face plate number 51 hugs the left edge between the third and fourth rows, while back plate number 48 is located between the third and fourth rows. All four margins are in the neighborhood of 2mm wide. The back surcharges of "M-2-6-5" are distinct save for one "M" that only has its lower half present. The surcharges represent the following, "M" for membrane (fiber) paper, "2" for two sheets of paper as this membrane paper was composed of two sheets of thin paper, and "6-5" represent the year of printing, 1865. This may be as close to a full sheet as one will ever come for this denomination and issue. There are a few small edge tears, but these are often found on notes that were printed on membrane paper.
