A CHOICE APPEARING MINT EXAMPLE OF THE 1901 2¢ PAN-AMERICAN WITH INVERTED CENTER.
The 2¢ is the rarest of the
regularly issued Pan-American Inverts with probably no more than 200 being issued based upon the fact that two distinct shades exist of the error, and therefore two panes of 100 were released. Current estimates show that less than 100 examples have
survived, including about a half dozen used singles and two mint blocks (one rejoined). (Image1) |

rounded corner at top left not detracting, Very Fine, with 2010 P.F. certificate.

A WONDERFUL PLATE NUMBER SINGLE OF THE 1901 4¢ PAN-AMERICAN INVERTED CENTER - A GREAT RARITY AS ONLY FOUR PLATE
NUMBER SINGLES ARE RECORDED.
The 4¢ invert was printed deliberately as the result of a misunderstanding. After the discovery of the 1¢ and 2¢ inverts in mid-1901, the Third Assistant Postmaster, Edwin C. Madden, decided to
track down any additional errors. He had his assistant instruct the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to send any inverted Pan-American stamps to Madden's office. No inverted stamps in fact remained on hand, and interpreting Madden's
communique as an unconditional demand for inverts, the Bureau produced four sheets of them from the 4 cent plates and sent 400 copies on to Madden. About about half were marked "Specimen" and between 1901 and 1904 Madden distributed 172
examples. (Image1) |
