$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Mint N.H.,
well-centered within uncommonly wide margins, extraordinarily fresh, rich color and deeply-etched impression on bright paper EXTREMELY FINE. A HANDSOME AND SCARCE MINT NEVER-HINGED $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI. This stamp was once part of a
famous block of ten (position 8) containing eight Mint N.H. examples that was offered in the 1989 Chrisite's sale of the Weill Brothers' stock. All of the stamps in that block are incredibly fresh and pristine. The six middle stamps are particularly
well centered and margined. The block was broken up right after the sale. The majority of Extremely Fine Mint N.H. singles of the $2.00 Trans-Mississippi offered in the last 25 years emanated from that block. With 1991 P.F. and 2016 P.S.E.
