2c Carmine, Hudson-Fulton, Panama Pacific Small Die Proof on Wove (372P2a). Bright color, normal slight toning as seen on genuine Panama-Pacific proofs and not mentioned on certificate

VERY FINE AND RARE PANAMA-PACIFIC SMALL DIE PROOF OF THE 1909 2-CENT HUDSON-FULTON ISSUE.

In 1915 a limited special printing of 413 different small die proofs was created for the Panama-Pacific Exposition. They were printed on yellowish wove paper, and it is believed no more than five examples of each stamp were produced. This 2c Hudson-Fulton Panama-Pacific proof is the only example we have offered since we started keeping computerized records 30 years ago. We are aware of one other, heavily toned, offered in a 2003 Rumsey sale. We would be very surprised if five actually exist.

Ex Bianchi and Liberman. With clear 2010 P.F. certificate.
