15c Orange, Special Printing (199). Without gum as issued, vibrant color, natural straight edge at right clear of design

FINE AND EXTREMELY RARE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our recent review of the records of the Philatelic Foundation and our Levi records found only 37 certified examples of Scott 199. Of these, only eleven are confirmed as sound and many are -center. Perhaps four or five of these have decent centering. Ten have faults, and sixteen need to be reexamined for condition (many of which are off-center).

Unpublished Census No. 199-UNC-23. With 1997 P.F. certificate
