shade, proof-like impression showing every little detail of the engraving, choice centering with wide marginsVERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1894 $1.00 TYPE II UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE. Collectors of this
issue know that it is extremely difficult to find the first Bureau issue in centered, Mint Never-Hinged condition, particularly the higher denominations. This is mostly due to production problems as the Bureau of Engraving and Printing assumed
responsibility for stamp production after the American Bank Note contract expired. With 1999 P.F. certificate. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
