30c Greenish Black, Special Printing (201). Without gum as issued, bright color and detailed impression, perfectly centered, tiny thin spot at top right on one perf tip

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 30-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our recent review of records at the Philatelic Foundation found approximately 45 certified copies of Scott 201. Other than the truly negligible perf tip thin, which is symptomatic of soft porous paper and hardly cause for concern, this stamp exhibits the most striking centering and margins of any 30c 1880 Special Printing.

With 1972 and 2001 P.F. certificates
