VERY FINE APPEARING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1862 2-CENT NUMERAL ON GREENISH BLUE PAPER. A SUPERB STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT.

Our Honolulu Advertiser sale contained only three unused examples of this stamp, none with original gum, and only one was sound. The Pietsch sale contained two sound copies, both without gum. We have only offered two with original gum since keeping computerized records.

With 2006 P.F. and 2015 P.S.E. certificates, the latter describing the thin spot as "very tiny"
