1c Pan-American, Center Inverted (294a). Barest trace of hinging, deep rich colors, nicely balanced margins side-to-side and top-to-bottomFINE. A DESIRABLE SOUND, LIGHTLY-HINGED 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. This fresh stamp is a notable exception.
With 1995 and 2008 P.F. certificates
