Sale 1159, Lot 296, Revenues2c Green & Black on Green Paper, Center Inverted (RB2d). Rich frame color, lightened cancel slightly fades the vignette but still clearly visible

FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 2-CENT PROPRIETARY INVERT ON GREEN PAPER. ONLY FOURTEEN EXAMPLES OF THIS INVERT ARE RECORDED.

In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records 13 copies of the 2c Proprietary Invert on green paper. One additional example has come to light since his census, offered in our Sale 1037. Of the total recorded, nine appear to be unused, and all but two have at least one fault. This example with just a lightened cancel is highly collectible.

With 1986 P.F. certificate
