24c Pink, 1894 Issue (PR96). Original gum, lightly hinged, brilliant color and beautiful centering

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1894 24-CENT UNWATERMARKED BUREAU NEWSPAPER ISSUE.

The 1894 Bureau printing was made from the old plates of the American and Continental Bank Note Companies. The plates were re-entered, and there are also other differences in the printings, including the paper and gum. This issue was not in service for very long before the new plates were ready for the Bureau-produced issue of 1895. The high-denomination 1894 issues are rare and often plagued with poor centering and faults. This sound and centered example is a wonderful exception.

With 2001 P.F. certificate
