FR1310 R3, Scarce 1st Issue, 50c Washington

 

FR1310 A R6 Special variety with 14 perforations per 20mm of length.

 

 

Perforated 14 refers to the number of perforations per 20 millimeters of edge

length. The normal perforations, on all other First Issue Fractional notes, are

slightly larger perf. 12, or 12 perfo

The 1310a has 14 perforations per 20 mm.

[physics-fan3.14]

The 1310a has 14 perforations per 20 mm, versus 12 per 20 mm for the regular 1310.

[dan8402]

The 1310a has smaller and therefore more perforations on the edge.

[BigBob]

1310 has normal perforations- 12 perforations per 20 millimeters of edge length.

1310a has smaller perferations 14 perforations per 20 millimeters of edge length.

 

 

The generally accepted history of these smaller perforated notes is that they were produced from two sheets by dealer Harlan P. Smith circa 1890. Although there is no documentary evidence, there is considerable circumstantial evidence that Smith perforated these sheets himself. As this variety was listed by Blake, Valentine, Limpert and Rothert as genuine, it remains highly desirable and collectable in spite of its possible private perforation.

[mhardin2413]

14 perforations per 20mm instead of 12 pefs per 20mm

[Coindude]

Alloy composition?

[MunkyMan95]

One has an "a" associated with it

[just-john]

the difference between 1300 and 1310a

1 =1310a has the a

2=1310 does not have the a

3=looks like auction lot numbers so I'm certain that the has been 100s of 1300 and 1300a items

5= could be the numbers for a certain alloy of metal

But what I think it is simple MOON wanted to leave work early this Friday and came up with this question with 10,001 correct answers

could 1300 and 1300a be the same as the difference between this and that ??
