$2.00 State, Specimen Ovpt. (O68S). Without gum as issued, wonderfully fresh and crisp, pulled perf at rightFINE. A VERY DESIRABLE EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE $2.00 STATE SPECIMEN.
Although the Scott Specialized states that 32 $2.00 State "Specimen" stamps were issued, the description for the Markovits example states "only about twenty are recorded", presumably based on Markovits's original research.
