10c Deep Brown, Special Printing (197). Without gum as issued, deep rich color and crisp impression, huge margins all around

EXTREMELY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING WIDE-MARGINED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 10-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST SPECIAL PRINTINGS WITH ONLY 32 RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our recently updated census records for Scott 197 contain 32 certified examples. Of these, nine have faults, leaving only 23 sound or potentially sound examples (seven have not been examined in many years). Very few are as well-centered with wide margins as the one offered here.

Census No. 197-UNC-10 (unpublished). Ex Engel. With 1957 and 2008 P.F. certificates
