INCLUDING THE ELUSIVE HANDEL & FRANKLIN TICKETS
ALL WITH VERY FINE TO EXTREMELY FINE CENTERING
A Crisp Uncirculated (CU), in Superb Mint Condition Collection of Twelve (12) admission tickets with the exception of one Washington which shows faint hinge marks and should be rated AU. From both the regular and "A" series. The Handel & the Franklin are exquisite with near perfect centering. Overall nicely centered group with some exceptionally well centered. A rare opportunity to own this spectacular proof-like set.

Document Specifications: Each General Admission Ticket measures approximately 3¾" wide x 2¼" tall. They were engraved by the American Bank Note Company and each (with the exception of the Children's Ticket) bears the facsimile signatures of A. F. Seeberger, Treasurer or Harlow. N. Higginbotham, President of the Exposition. They have been individually numbered and the light spotting in the images is actually part of the safety paper, used along with intricate detailed scroll engraving to foil counterfeiting. These are from both the first and second, or "A", printings which was a much smaller and scarcer edition. They are all classed as Crisp Unissued (CU) except that one Washington has very light adhesion marks on the reverse and is graded the next step down as Almost Unissued (AU). All are guaranteed to be genuine without limit.
