 $2.00 Bright Blue (262). Original gum, lightly hinged, gorgeous rich color on bright white paper, remarkably well-centered with enormous margins all aroundEXTREMELY FINE. VERY RARE IN THIS QUALITY
WITH ORIGINAL GUM. The 1894 unwatermarked issue was the first U.S. stamp issue printed by the Bureau of Engraving & Printing. This issue is notoriously difficult to find well-centered, as production was marred by initial problems as the Bureau
feverishly worked to satisfy the public demand for stamps. The $2.00 is one of the rarest of the set in this original-gum condition and choice grade. With 2000 P.F. certificate (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
