VERY FINE AND CHOICE. ONE OF THE BEST-CENTERED OF THE FEW SOUND 15-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING STAMPS EXTANT. FEWER THAN TEN EXAMPLES ARE IN SOUND CENTERED CONDITION.

Our recent review of the records of the Philatelic Foundation found only 36 certified examples of Scott 199. As another indication of rarity, the last example we offered at auction was in an October 2004 sale. This is the first Scott 199 we have offered in almost three years.

Ex Floyd. P.S.E. encapsulated (VF 80; SMQ $43,000.00)
