7c Scarlet Vermilion, Special Printing (196). Without gum as issued, brilliant color on bright white paper, unusually wide margins, especially at top and right

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE 7-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our recently updated census records for Scott 196 contain approximately 80 certified examples. It is one of the most common soft-paper Special Printings because the 7c was no longer in production in 1880 and, probably to some degree, because it can be easily identified since there is no regular issue on soft paper.

Unpublished Census No. 196-UNC-73. Ex Lilly and Vineyard. With 1972, 1992 and 1997 P.F. certificates (first two are photocopies)
