<B>Fr. 1313 Milton 1E.50R.3 50¢ First Issue Uncut Sheet of Sixteen Backs PMG Choice Very Fine 35 EPQ.</B></I> Very similar in design to the Twenty Five Cent back-only sheet offered above, and as with that sheet, neither the Friedberg number nor the Milton number is exactly accurate here. This should actually be considered an Experimental Sheet. The design is that of the finished Fifty Cent Fr. 1313 back save for the paper, which is a lighter white bond. The impressions are proof quality and razor-sharp. The sheet has picked up a number of folds and some handling, but it remains clean and quite handsome. Each of the sixteen notes has a single round punch cancel. The printing has created heavy embossing through to the blank back side. An irreplaceable item, as are most all First Issue Experimental pieces. (10,000-up)<BR><I>Stack's June 13, 2005 Lot 218; previously S.H.
