$2.00 Bright Blue (262). Mint N.H., bright color, detailed impression, wide marginsVERY FINE. A SCARCE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 UNWATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE.
We have only sold five others in Mint N.H. condition since keeping computerized records. Of these, at least two only rated the grade of Fine. This issue is often overlooked by collectors seeking the $5.00 of the series in Mint N.H. condition, and deserves greater prominence in any rarity scale for the issue in Mint N.H. condition.
