Sale 1224, Lot 173, 1894-98 Bureau Issues$2.00 Bright Blue (277). Mint N.H. with part imprint bottom selvage, deep rich color and detailed impression, beautifully centered with balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE MINT NEVER-HINGED PART IMPRINT EXAMPLE OF THE 1895 $2.00 WATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE. A BEAUTIFUL STAMP AND EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN THIS HIGH GRADE.

With 2019 P.F. certificate (XF 90). By way of comparison, the P.S.E. Population Report for Scott 277 lists only three Mint N.H. in grades of XF 90 or higher (one 90, two 95). We have offered two of those three stamps and neither has a part imprint
