30c Agriculture, "Sepcimen" Error (O9Sa). Without
gum as issued, vivid color, wonderfully well-centered with wide margins, bright and freshEXTREMELY FINE. THIS IS THE FINEST OF ONLY THREE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE 30-CENT AGRICULTURE "SEPCIMEN" ERROR. Only 354 of the 30c Agriculture
Special Printing were sold, but it is not known how the stamps were taken from the sheets or if full sheets were exhausted before breaking a subsequent sheet. If full sheets were used, then at most four can possibly exist. Robert Markovits recorded
only three examples, which accords with our records. The ex-Sheriff and Markovits copy and the example sold in Siegel Sale 913 are not nearly as well-centered as the stamp offered here. Ex Lewenthal and pictured in Combs book on page 36. Signed
