Sale 1000, Lot 1252, Later Issues29c New York Stock Exchange Bicentennial, Center Inverted (2630c). Mint N.H. with selvage at bottom, brilliant colors, wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THE 29-CENT NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE INVERT.

Two panes containing this invert error were discovered, for a total of 56 examples recorded. The bottom rows of each pane have the black completely missing (twelve stamps) as the vignettes for these were printed off the top of the sheet as seen here. This is the first invert error to be discovered since the 1979 C.I.A. Invert (excluding the illegally-released Nixon Invert, which cannot be legitimately owned).

With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; unpriced in SMQ). Normal stamp accompanies for comparison.
