EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED TOP POSITION PLATE NUMBER EXAMPLE OF THE 50-CENT TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.

With 2021 P.F. certificate (XF 90). By way of comparison, P.S.E. has graded only eight higher -- six at 95 and two at 98 -- but that is without regard to a plate number. None of the higher graded examples we have offered had a plate number.
