$6.00 Pale Blue, 1894 Issue (PR101). Original gum, lightly hinged, brilliant color, small crease at left center

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE $6.00 1894 UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE, PR101. ONLY FIFTEEN UNUSED AND ONE USED EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS, AND ONLY SIX HAVE ORIGINAL GUM. A GREAT RARITY.

Our recently updated census of PR101, available at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/PR101 , contains fifteen unused and one used copy of this rarity. Only six have original gum, and of these only two (Nos. OG-03 and OG-04) are confirmed as sound. One is repaired and one is reperfed. The example offered here, with original gum, choice centering and a negligible flaw, is highly desirable.

Census No. PR101-OG-15. Ex Lyons. With 1960 P.F. certificate
