Sale 1239, Lot 608, 1902 Pan-American Issue Stamps, First Day Covers and Inverts2c Pan-American, Center Inverted (295a). Original gum, choice centering with wide and even margins at sides, attractive colors, tiny trivial corner crease at lower right

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT PAN-AMERICAN INVERT.

A survey of the Levi records produced 64 single unused stamps (excluding the block of four and rejoined block of four). Many of these were described in auction catalogues more than 40 years ago; therefore, the determination of soundness is uncertain. However, assuming the old descriptions were reaffirmed today, approximately 45% of singles across all centering categories have faults. The centering on the example offered here is far better than normally seen.

With 1968 and 2001 P.F. certificates
