7c Reddish Vermilion, Special Printing (171). Without gum as issued, bright color, full perfs at sides and with perfs as they appear in the photo on other sides

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 7-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE SPECIAL PRINTING. APPROXIMATELY 70-75 ARE BELIEVED TO EXIST.

Most stamps of the Continental Special Printings were scissors-separated, affecting the perforations on at least one side and in some cases two or three sides. Our recent review of records of the Philatelic Foundation located only 70 examples of Scott 171.

With 2007 P.F. certificate
