$2.00 Orange Red & Black (523). Right sheet margin single, very large horizontal pre-print paper fold which occurred after one of the two printing passes as only the vignette is distorted (Franklin appears to be wearing a turban) and vignette is deeply into the "DOLLARS" label at bottom, rare and striking printing anomaly, the first we have ever seen on this scarce stamp
