50c Blue & Black, Second Issue, Center Inverted (R115a, formerly R115b). Magnificent centering and margins, light manuscript cancel, Extremely Fine, one of the finest examples of this invert extant, from our 1992 Rarities sale, with 1991 and 2018 P.F. Certificates as R115b, in the 2018 edition of the Scott Specialized Catalogue the editors changed this (unhelpfully in our opinion) from R115b to R115a
