VERY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RARE AND POPULAR 1915 2-DOLLAR HALL OF CLASSICS WITH CENTER INVERTED. ONE OF THE "FOUR TREASURES OF THE REPUBLIC."

It is now believed two sheets of 50 stamps were issued with the center inverted. However, only a small fraction of those survive today. Though we are unaware of any published census, estimates in the literature of the number known are usually between 30 and 40.
