$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich color and proof-like impression, choice centering with perfectly-balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.
The spacing between subjects on the $2.00 Trans-Mississippi plate was slightly narrower between horizontal rows than between vertical columns. Therefore, stamps with equal margins on all four sides, such as the one offered here, are rare.
