Sale 1149, Lot 296, Proprietary Inverts2c Green & Black on Green Paper, Center Inverted (RB2d). Unused with traces of original gum, rich color, trivial corner margin crease at top right

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 2-CENT PROPRIETARY INVERT ON GREEN PAPER. ONLY FOURTEEN EXAMPLES OF THIS INVERT ARE RECORDED. THE 2-CENT IS THE ONLY INVERT DENOMINATION KNOWN ON GREEN PAPER.

In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records 13 copies of the 2c Proprietary Invert on green paper. One additional example has come to light since his census, offered in our Sale 1037. Of the total recorded, nine appear to be unused, and all but two have at least one fault. This example with only a tiny corner margin crease is highly desirable.

Ex Weill and Zoellner. With 1989 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as used
