Lot 36THE PERKINS BACON DIE PROOFS: State 2 die proof with a field of horizontal lines behind the King's head, in deep red-violet on thin unsurfaced wove paper (118x87mm) with no endorsements BW #70(DP)12Da, Cat $16,000. Superb & unique! The stock is most unusual but it was almost certainly pulled by Perkins Bacon. NB: the ACSC states the colour is "bright violet". However, comparison with the next lot will show that is a markedly different shade.
