2c Pan-American, Center Inverted (295a). Small h.r., intense colors, negligible small corner crease at bottom left, tiny paper spot at bottom of vignette frame

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A WONDERFULLY-CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT. ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED INVERT ERRORS IN AMERICAN PHILATELY.

The 2c is the rarest of the three Pan-American Inverts. It is surmised that approximately 200 were issued through the post office, with two distinct shades known. Our Levi records contain the intact block (4), reconstructed block (4), 64 unused singles and 6 used singles, for a total of 72 unused and 6 used. Many of the unused singles have disturbed gum or no gum, and/or are off center to top or top left. The example offered here, with no obvious flaws, is among the finest-appearing examples

With 1982 Sorani and 1997 P.F. certificates.
