1c Pan-American, Center Inverted (294a). Narrow hinge marks at top and bottom, deep rich colors, attractive margins and centering, couple tiny perf tip gum soaks at right

FINE. A DESIRABLE 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 1976 P.F. certificate issued to Raymond H. Weill, from whom this was purchased more than 40 years ago
