7c Scarlet Vermilion, Special Printing (196). Without gum as issued, rich colorFRESH AND FINE. AN ATTRACTIVE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 7-CENT 1880 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.
With 2006 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (F 70; SMQ $5,850.00)
