$3.00 1968 Hunting Permit, Back Inscription Omitted (RW35a). With bottom right corner plate no. 170443 selvage, original gum somewhat harshly called "slightly disturbed" on accompanying certificates, again irrelevant as this is unique, brilliant colors

VERY FINE. THE UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF THE 1968 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 (offered in the previous lot), 1968 (offered here), 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 1968 and the also unique 1962 and 1974 errors.

With 2013 A.P.S. and 2003 P.F. certificates. Listed but unpriced in Scott.
