FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 THIRD ISSUE REVENUE WITH INVERTED CENTER. ONE OF THE GREAT REVENUE RARITIES.

In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records a total of 26 copies. Of these five are on one document and one is on another, leaving 20 copies not on documents. At least 13 of the 20 have faults, leaving only seven sound or potentially sound copies, most of which have similar centering to the one offered here.

With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (VG 50, unpriced in SMQ). This is the first off document we have offered since before 1995. (Image)

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT PROPRIETARY INVERT ON VIOLET PAPER. ONLY 24 EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED, MOST OF WHICH ARE FAULTY.

In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records 23 examples of this invert error, most of which have thins or creases, or are off center. We offered one additional copy in our 2006 Tolman sale, bringing the total to 24. Of these sixteen have faults, leaving only eight sound or potentially sound copies. Almost all of the potentially sound copies have centering similar to the example offered here.
