EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

The Columbian Exposition was open from May 1 to October 30, 1893, and the use of this exposition marking is very unusual. The $2.00 is one of the most difficult of all dollar-value Columbians to obtain in such superb condition.

With 1992 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98; SMQ $8,000.00). This is the highest grade awarded and only three others share it.
