Sale 1249, Lot 135, 1895 Unwatermarked Bureau Issue (Scott PR102-PRR113)$100.00 Purple, 1895 Unwatermarked Issue (PR113). Original gum, incredibly deep rich color on bright paper, wide margins and well-centered

EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE $100.00 1895 UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE.

A Review of Power Search and the online records of The Philatelic Foundation did not find any in Mint N.H. condition, and the Scott Catalogue appropriately removed its price for Mint N.H. This is one of the finest we have ever encountered and has margins and centering similar to the example we offered in our 2016 sale of the Inman collection.

With 1990 and 2003 P.F. certificates
