 Postage Currency Presentation Set of Four Notes with ''Superfine'' Perforations. An amazing set of First Issue specially perforated notes. Includes 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, and 50¢ denominations. All with the ABN Monogram. The perforations on each are ultra-fine and make the Fr.1310a perforated 14 seem coarse. Not in Milton and the only other examples we know of are in the O'Mara Collection Sale. In that sale, they are referred to as ''Perforated 16'' variety. However, the O'Mara Sale lacked the 50¢ note featured in this set. We did not measure, but they seem like they might be ''Perforated 20'', they are that fine. The provenance of this set is spectacular as this came from Spinner himself, according to a slip of paper included with it. Hopefully, this information is true and is not another product of Harlan P. Smith. The small slip of paper reads: ''Spinner's present to his personal friend''. At the right in column form ''5 10 25 50'' and at the lower left ''Superfine perforations'' and date ''1-25-07''. Wonderful condition. Each note with some light tone to it. Essentially About Uncirculated to Crisp Uncirculated. Condition matters little versus the rarity and unusual nature of this group. 4 pieces.
Ex F.C.C. Boyd Estate; Francis E. Spinner.
