Milton 1DP10F.1 and 1DP10R.1 10¢ First Issue PMG
<B>Milton 1DP10R.1 and 1DP10F.1 10¢ First Issue Trial-Color Die Proof Pair PMG Superb Gem Uncirculated 68 EPQ and 58 EPQ.</B></I> Both the face and back are uniface proof printings on soft white paper. This unique pair traces its origins to a 1904 Chapman Sale, no other examples having been seen before or since. Even though the back is in its normal black color, it's immediately evident that you are not looking at just another Specimen note. Both impressions are clearly from brand-new plates, as the engraving is incredibly sharp and the embossing strikingly obvious. The Face is also printed in black rather than the usual green. The Face has been graded 58 EPQ by PMG, and the Back 68 EPQ. Mr. Mayer paid $3300 for the pair in 2006.<BR><I>From The Frederick Mayer Collection</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
