Sale 1224, Lot 246, Postal Stationery2c Green on Amber Manila, Die 87, Full Corner (U310; UPSS 922). Unused, 38.5 x 42mm, vivid color, trivial tiny gum spot above "P" mentioned for accuracy and not noted on accompanying certificates

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT PLIMPTON ON AMBER MANILA PAPER. ONLY ONE ENTIRE AND THIS FULL CORNER ARE KNOWN IN UNUSED CONDITION. ONE OF THE GREATEST POSTAL STATIONERY RARITIES.

The 2018 UPSS catalogue records only one mint and one used entire. This is believed to be the only unused full corner, and no unused cut squares are known. There are perhaps four or five used cut squares known.

Ex Meisel, "Scarsdale" and Cook. With 2006 and 2013 P.F. certificates. Scott value as cut square
