Sale 1135, Lot 625, Official Special Printings - Justice Department24c Justice, "Sepcimen" Error (O32Sa). Without gum as issued, bright color, perfs scissors-separated but mostly intact except for a few at top

FINE. THIS EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WITH "SEPCIMEN" SPELLING ERROR MAY WELL BE UNIQUE. A PHENOMENAL RARITY.

Only 150 copies of the 24c Justice 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 only two can possibly exist. The Combs book does not record any, and this is the only example known to us.

Ex Pickard, Stone, Sheriff and Lockyear. With 2004 P.F. certificate
