Sale 1224, Lot 253, Revenues$1.00 Green & Black, Third Issue, Center Inverted (R144a). Deep rich colors, bold July 21, 1872 manuscript cancel, small corner crease at bottom right

FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 THIRD ISSUE REVENUE WITH INVERTED CENTER. 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.

Ex Lapham (pencil note on back). With 1976 P.F. certificate.
