Sale 1227, Lot 2838, 1880-83 American Bank Note Co. Special Printing (Scott 192-202)2c Black Brown, Special Printing (193). Without gum as issued, deep rich color and detailed impression, exceptional centering with wide margins, couple tiny thins at top

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 2-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our census of Scott 193 contains 48 examples, of which almost half have faults (mostly thins, which are endemic to this soft porous paper). Of the sound examples, nearly all are centered to top or one side. The example offered here, with well-proportioned margins, is very desirable.

Census no. 193-UNC-18. Ex Peyton ("Isleham") and Curtis. With 1986 P.F. certificate
