$1.00 Black, Ty. II (276A). Mint N.H. with full top plate no. 76 selvage, intense shade and detailed impression on bright paper

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1895 $1.00 TYPE II WATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE. ESPECIALLY RARE WITH THE PLATE NUMBER SELVAGE. THIS IS THE FIRST UNUSED PLATE NUMBER SINGLE WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS.

The Type II with plate number is only found on the right pane of the plate of 200 subjects. A review using Power Search shows we have never offered a single with plate number, and those contained in the five strips we have sold are all hinged. This is one of the rarest stamps of the issue to obtain in Mint N.H. condition -- we have only offered five other Mint N.H. singles since keeping computerized records (25 years), one of which was reperfed.

With 2004 P.F. certificate
