7c Scarlet Vermilion, Special Printing (196). Without gum as issued, exceptionally well-centered, marvelous fiery color

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE 1880 7-CENT AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our census of Scott 196 contains approximately 86 examples. It is the most common of the soft-paper Special Printings because the 7c was no longer in production in 1880 and, probably to some degree, because it can be easily identified since there is no regular issue on soft paper.

Census no. 196-UNC-03. P.F. certificate no. 322041 no longer accompanies. With 2009 P.S.E. certificate
