Sale 1224, Lot 184, Trans-Mississippi Issue$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). With top plate no. 613 selvage, original gum, barely hinged, exceptional centering and margins, deep rich color on fresh paper

EXTREMELY FINE GEM PLATE NUMBER EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE WITH BARELY HINGED GUM.

The $2.00 Trans-Mississippi Issue is widely regarded as being the most difficult denomination of the series to obtain with any decent-size margins. The margins are almost always narrow on the $2.00, making it difficult for collectors of Gem-quality stamps to fill this space in their albums.

With 2020 P.F. certificate (XF-Superb 95 XQ)
