Sale 937, Lot 153, 1875 Continental Bank Note Co. Special Printing2c Dark Brown, Special Printing (168). Without gum as issued, choice centering with full perforations all around, rich color

EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING IN THE FINEST CONDITION ATTAINABLE.

Our recently completed review of records found only 55 copies of Scott 168 certified as genuine. Of these, 22 have straight edges on at least one side and several are faulty. We found only two other examples of comparable quality to the example offered here, as most are either off-center or have perfs that are scissors-separated.

Ex Kantor and Vineyard. With 1950, 1967 and 2002 P.F. certificates.
