30c Orange & Black, Third Issue, Inverted Center (R140a). Unusually choice centering, vibrant colors, neat strike of blue 1872 cancel leaving inverted vignette clearly visible

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT THIRD ISSUE REVENUE WITH INVERTED CENTER. QUITE PROBABLY THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

With 2007 P.F. certificate

2c Green & Black on Violet Paper, Proprietary, Center Inverted (RB2c). Rich colors, single horizontal penstroke cancel, tiny pinhole (possibly natural paper artifact) and faint translucency, neither mentioned on accompanying certificates

FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO EXAMPLES OF THE 2-CENT PROPRIETARY ISSUE ON VIOLET PAPER WITH CENTER INVERTED. ONE OF THE GREATEST RARITIES OF UNITED STATES REVENUE COLLECTING.

Only two examples of this invert are recorded: 1) the example offered here, and 2) heavy handstamp cancel, crease and thin, ex Lyons.

Ex Cunliffe and Curtis. With 1964 and 2015 P.F. certificates not mentioning any faults, which are really so negligible we probably should not have mentioned them either.
