2c Black Brown, Special Printing (193). Without gum as issued, deep rich color, gorgeous centering with wide and balanced margins, trivial natural inclusion at left not mentioned on accompanying certificate

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE SOUND AND CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our recently updated census records for Scott 193 contain 48 certified examples, of which almost half have faults (mostly thins, which are endemic to this soft porous paper). Of the sound examples, nearly all are centered to top or one side. The example offered here, with well-balanced margins, is very desirable.

Census No. 193-UNC-03. With 1994 P.F. certificate
