3c Deep Violet (537a). Rich color, well-centered for this rare and notoriously challenging stamp and shade, Salem Ohio oval registry cancel

EXTREMEY FINE. A RARE SOUND AND CENTERED USED EXAMPLE OF THE 3-CENT 1919 "VICTORY" ISSUE IN THE RARE DEEP RED VIOLET COLOR. THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN WITHOUT A PRECANCEL.

Our census of Scott 537a in used condition, available at our website at http://www.siegelauctions.com/dynamic/census/537a/537a.pdf , records a total of 19 used singles and two used blocks of four. Of the singles, 11 are precancelled -- all at Salem Ohio. Of the eight singles without precancels, the example offered here has the widest margins. It should also be considered desirable with the Salem registry cancel.

Census No. 537a-CAN-03. With 2000 P.F. certificate
