$3.00 1962 Hunting Permit, Back Inscription Omitted (RW29a). Original gum, accompanying P.F. certificate states Mint N.H. but we detect the faintest hinging at bottom (irrelevant as this is unique), brilliant colors and well-centeredVERY FINE. THE UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE 1962 HUNTING PERMIT ISSUE WITH BACK INSCRIPTION OMITTED.
In the whole history of the Federal Hunting Permit program, the back inscription omitted error only occurred during five years -- 1962 (the example offered here), 1968 (offered in the following lot), 1974 (technically not omitted but printed on front due to a foldover), 1990 and 2003. For the two later years (1990 and 2003), Datz records 150 and 12 examples respectively. The greatest rarities of this variety are this unique example from 1962 and the also unique 1968 and 1974 errors.
With 1995 P.F. certificate as Mint N.H. Also with 2013 A.P.S. certificate stating slightly disturbed original gum which is nonsense. Listed but unpriced in Scott.
