25¢. Fr.1284. Back surcharged 18-63. Deep gray or ''Slate Back'' from back plate '77', partial number visible at the back lower right corner. A very distinct back color and with no characteristics of being an alteration. Sadly, alterers attacked Fractional to create rarities. However, this Ford-Boyd note is the real deal. Choice Almost Uncirculated. The handling is a bit heavy, but not folded. Bright and well centered on the face and back. Penciled numbers in the upper corners. Not in the Ford III Sale.
