Sale 1150, Lot 937, 1901 Pan-American Issue Inverts (Scott 294a-296a)1c Pan-American, Center Inverted (294a). Narrow hinge marks at top and left, deep rich colors, extra wide margins at the sides

VERY FINE. A DESIRABLE SOUND, ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT.

According to Johl, the 1c Pan-American Inverts were found in at least four different post offices around the country soon after release of the issue in May 1901, including Bessemer Ala., Richmond Va., Utica N.Y. and Connecticut. The gum on many is heavily hinged or disturbed. The gum on this example is better than most.

With 1991 P.F. certificate
