VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THE 2-CENT ON LAID PAPER IS ONE OF THE RAREST BLACK JACK VARIETIES. ONLY SIX COPIES ARE CONTAINED IN OUR RECORDS.

The 2c Black Jack on laid paper is one of the rarest production varieties (as opposed to a plate variety). The other rare Scott-listed variety is the printed on both sides. Our census of this variety, available at our website at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/73g , records just six used copies and no unused.

Census no. 73g-CAN-06. With 2005 P.S.E. certificate
