30c Greenish Black, Special Printing (176). Without gum as issued, beautiful deep shade, incredibly well-centered with wide margins all around, scissors-separated as almost always but leaving full perforations all around

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THE COMBINATION OF VIRTUALLY PERFECT CENTERING AND FULL PERFORATIONS MAKES THIS PERHAPS THE FINEST EXAMPLE CONTAINED IN OUR RECORDS.

Many examples of the Continental Bank Note special printings were separated by scissors, and so are often found with perforations partly missing or entirely trimmed away. A review of our records and those of the Philatelic Foundation found 52 certified copies. Of these, only three or four have perforations on all four sides.

With 2000 and 2006 P.F. certificates (XF 90)
