10c Agriculture, "Sepcimen" Error (O5Sa). Without gum as issued, brilliant color, wide margin at left (as does the only other recorded example)

FRESH AND FINE. ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE 10-CENT AGRICULTURE SPECIAL PRINTING WITH THE "SEPCIMEN" SPELLING ERROR. A PHENOMENAL RARITY.

Only 390 copies of the 10c Agriculture Special Printing were sold, but it is not known how the stamps were taken from the sheets or if full sheets were exhausted before breaking a subsequent sheet. If full sheets were used, then at most four can possibly exist. None were known to Combs. The other example known to us, ex Stone, Sheriff and Markovits, has similar centering but is closer at bottom. It was incorrectly described in the 2004 Markovits sale as the only recorded example.

With 1971 P.F. certificate.
