Sale 1205, Lot 2156, Revenues, First thru Third Issue, Proprietary$1.00 Green & Black, Third Issue, Center Inverted (R144a). Deep rich colors, neat manuscript cancel, horizontal crease at top which is unobtrusive

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 THIRD ISSUE REVENUE WITH INVERTED CENTER. THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST RECORDED EXAMPLES. ONE OF THE GREAT REVENUE RARITIES.

In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records a total of 26 copies (one is known outside the census). Of these, five are on one document and one is on another, leaving 20 copies not on documents. Of these, virtually all have faults and most have poor centering. The example offered here is better centered than most.

Ex Joyce and Inman. With 1992 P.S.E. certificate
