15c War, "Sepcimen" Error (O90Sa). Without gum as issued, soft shade, choice centering, pulled perf at left

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT WAR DEPARTMENT ISSUE WITH THE "SEPCIMEN" OVERPRINT ERROR. A PHENOMENAL RARITY.

Only 105 copies of the 15c War 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 no more than two can exist from sold sheets. This stamp comes from the Framingham Find and is the only recorded example. No others have ever been seen.

From the Framingham Find and ex Dr. Lobdell. With 2010 P.F. certificate
