$2.00 Orange Brown, Trans-Mississippi (293). Original gum, paper h.r., exceptional centering with wide and beautifully balanced margins, deep rich color on bright paper
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.
The $2.00 Trans-Mississippi issue is widely regarded as being the most difficult denomination of the series to obtain with any decent-size margins. The margins are almost always narrow on the $2.00, making it difficult for collectors of Gem-quality stamps to fill this space in their albums.
With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (OGh, XF-Superb 95). Only three stamps grade higher (highest is 98).
