185 og Image1c Dark Ultramarine, Special Printing (192). Without gum as issued, deep rich color on bright paper, centered to bottom left, a few small thin spots noted on most recent certificate, which seem to be a common occurrence on this soft porous paper (after examining many of the known population of this stamp we feel that some of the thins noted on certificates are natural)

187 og Image6c Dull Rose, Special Printing (195). Without gum as issued, fresh color, natural straight edge at right

FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING. ONLY 26 ARE CONTAINED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our census of Scott 195 contains 26 certified examples of Scott 195, an oddly low number. Some of the stamps submitted as the Special Printing, but certified as the regular issue, Scott 186, could in fact be Special Printing stamps (the two are difficult to tell apart). We record another three stamps which we feel are possibly Scott 195, despite previous P.F. certification. A majority are sound or potentially sound, but many are off center to some degree.
