2c Pan-American, Center Inverted (295a). Bright colors and choice centering, stitch watermark, clear machine cancel leaves entire design clearly visible, vertical crease

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONLY SEVEN USED EXAMPLES OF THE 2-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT ARE KNOWN, AND NONE ARE SOUND. THE EXAMPLE OFFERED HERE, WITH UNUSUALLY CHOICE CENTERING, AN UNOBTRUSIVE CANCEL AND A CREASE, IS ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

Our census of the 2c Pan-American Invert in used condition records only seven copies, which are illustrated below and available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/295a/295a.pdf . None is sound -- two are reperfed, one has a tear and another is thinned. Only three stamps have minor flaws.

Census No. 295a-CAN-02. Ex Goldsmith, Silberberg and Hewitt. With 1971, 1980 and 2005 P.F. certificates. In our opinion this is very undercatalogued in Scott -- the unused invert catalogues $55,000.00 in Scott and is significantly more plentiful with approximately 64 unused singles known, versus $60,000.00 for the used with only seven known.
