2c Deep Brown, Special Printing (J9). Original gum, lightly hinged, choice centering for this difficult issue, bright color and detailed impression on crisp paper

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 2-CENT POSTAGE DUE SPECIAL PRINTING, WHICH IS EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO OBTAIN IN SUCH BEAUTIFUL CONDITION.

As noted in the description of lot 562, the reported sale figures for the 1c, 2c and 3c Postage Due Special Printings probably include orders filled with regular stamps. The 2c is one of the rarest of the set, especially in this sound and centered original-gum condition.

With 1970 and 1995 P.F. certificates.
