Tallahassee, FL - State of Florida $50 October 10, 1861 Cr. 3, Benice 13B. PCGS Very Fine 35 Apparent. Florida State notes have been avidly collected with the Confederate States and Florida Obsolete note series for over a century. The 1861 notes have the most variations, including an unusual plate anomaly on the $50. On this variant, the note was signed by Governor Milton; it also has a countersignature. The "L" denomination die is at the upper left (unlike the Cr. 3B with both "50" dies at the top). Both "FIFTY" denominations under the title, flanking the vignette, are normal (as opposed to one being inverted). There are some "Small Holes at Bottom Right" noted and near the signature. A well-framed example. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20431, realized $156. |
