30c Agriculture, "Sepcimen" Error (O9Sa). Without gum as issued, vibrant color, some perfs scissors-separated but intact

FINE. ONLY FOUR EXAMPLES OF THE 30-CENT AGRICULTURE "SEPCIMEN" ERROR ARE RECORDED.

Only 354 of the 30c Agriculture Special Printing were sold, but it is not known how the stamps were taken from the sheets or if full sheets were exhausted before breaking a subsequent sheet. If full sheets were used, then at most four can possibly exist. Robert Markovits recorded only three examples; we now record four with the addition of the example offered here. The ex-Sheriff and Markovits copy and the example sold in Siegel Sale 913 have similar centering to the stamp offered here. The 1933 Hind sale described an example as centered to southeast and the only example known, but it was not illustrated.

Small blue backstamp.
