Sale 1000, Lot 1324, Revenues$1.00 Green & Black, Third Issue, Inverted Center (R144a). Deep rich color, used on partly-printed August 5, 1872 Administrator's Bond from Chatham County, Georgia, manuscript initials and "August 5/72" date, faintly toned perf tips and some minor splitting along document edges

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF TWO RECORDED USAGES OF THE $1.00 SECOND ISSUE WITH INVERTED CENTER ON ITS ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. AN OUTSTANDING RARITY.

In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records a total of 26 copies. The other recorded document bears five copies of the error and is also used with a normal $1.00 stamp. These are the only complete documents bearing revenue inverts above the 2c denomination (one piece is also recorded).
