2c Louisiana Purchase, Vertical Pair, Imperforate Horizontally (324a). Original gum, h.r. at top, brilliant color, wide margins, expertly reperfed at left

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT LOUISIANA PURCHASE IMPERFORATE HORIZONTALLY.

It is believed that only one pane of 50 was found in the mid-west. This intact pane was originally in the Worthington collection. After the Worthington sale it was broken into pairs and blocks of four. Power Search shows very few of these rarities -- we have offered only two others since 1990, and this is the first we have offered since 2010.

With 2017 P.F. certificate
