6c Dull Rose, Special Printing (195). Without gum as issued, fresh and bright color

VERY FINE EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING. FEWER THAN 30 ARE BELIEVED TO EXIST.

Our recently updated census records contain 26 certified examples of Scott 195, an oddly low number. Some of the stamps submitted as the Special Printing, but certified as the regular issue, Scott 186, could in fact be Special Printing stamps (the two are difficult to tell apart). We record another three stamps which we feel are possibly Scott 195, despite previous P.F. certification.

Unpublished Census No. 195-CAN-22. Ex Chapin. With 1973 and 2003 P.F. and 2005 P.S.E. certificates (VF 80; SMQ $100,000.00)
