Tallahassee, FL - State of Florida $50 October 10, 1861 Cr. 3A, Benice 14A. PCGS Very Fine 25 Apparent. This $50 certainly pairs up with the previous, forming a fascinating display set. Like the above, this variant was signed by Governor Milton and also has a countersignature. The "L" denomination die is at the upper left. However, the right "FIFTY" denomination under the title and flanking the vignette is inverted. This has a scarcer rarity in the Ron Benice specialized Florida catalog, but has been underappreciated. Other than some "Minor Stains," this is pleasing and interesting. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
From Newman X (Heritage Auctions, November 2018), lot 20432, realized $96. |
