1c-90c War, Panama-Pacific Small Die Proofs (O83P2a-O93P2a). Light toning as always with genuine examples and a couple with light translucencies, each with nice margins

VERY FINE. A RARE SET OF WAR DEPARTMENT PANAMA-PACIFIC SMALL DIE PROOFS.

In 1915 the Bureau of Engraving and Printing used the Continental dies to prepare a display for the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco. Four sets were pulled; the Government kept one and gave three to H. M. Southgate in return for Pan-American inverts missing from its collection. This is the only set War Department set we have located in our sales using Power Search.
