Fractional Currency Experimentals & Proofs Second Issue Experimental. Face Design. Uniface, printed on white fine fiber paper. Standard note size and design. The face design appears to be as issued, with March 3, 1863 enactment date above imprint, but there is no bottom border frame, perhaps due to uneven inking. "Engraved and Printed at the Treasury Department", printed in slightly muddy reverse white text at the bottom. All face details are present including the key. Bronze oval. Canceled with two half-moon punch holes. Stamped "SPECIMEN" in violet, diagonally across the portrait. Otherwise Uncirculated. Ex. Henry Chapman.
