$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Brilliant color and precisely balanced margins, light strike of just the rim and two letters of a circular datestamp, trace of guideline at top

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE. THIS STAMP IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE WITH CHOICE CENTERING AND A LIGHT CANCEL.

While the top value of the Trans-Mississippi Issue is occasionally found well-centered, it invariably has a heavy cancel. This sound example with a light cancel is a true condition rarity.

With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; SMQ $2,300.00). This likely would have been graded 95 without the trace of the guideline at top, which is, of course, a completely natural occurrence and does not detract from the beauty of this stamp
