 50¢. Fr.1364. Justice. Green back, compactly spaced surcharges A-2-6-5, position locator ''1'' at the left face. Inverted Back Surcharges. Milton 3R50.10f. This was missing from the Milton Friedberg Sale Collection. The O'Mara Collection note is Very Fine (lot 16216). According to the O'Mara Catalogue, now the textbook on Fractional Inverts, the census is ''three examples''. Adding this does not hurt the census, but only enhances it. This note would be wonderful even as a plain type note. Gem Crisp Uncirculated. The margins border (pardon the pun) on the awesome. This appears to be a special sheet cut for a collector as it was done with such care. Incredibly bright bronze that in some bidders' minds should let them discount the faint handling on the top edge. The back shows the deep embossing. Penciled ''42X'' at the back upper left corner. A very low census and a top quality note and a low number of known notes should make for a great opportunity for the Fractional Currency specialist.
