30c Greenish Black, Special Printing (201). Without gum as issued, intense shade, better centering than normally seen

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A RARE SOUND AND CENTERED EXAMPLE OF THE 1880 30-CENT AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our census of Scott 201 contains 46 examples, including one in the Miller collection owned by The New York Public Library, leaving 45 available to collectors. Only approximately 11 are confirmed as sound and only seven of those are well-centered. Another 16 need to be reexamined for condition, but only a handful of these have better than Fine centering.

Census no. 201-UNC-28. With 1989 P.F. and 1990 and 2006 P.S.E. certificates
