Sale 973, Lot 177, Trans-Mississippi Issue$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Horizontal pair with wide bottom imprint and plate no. 613 selvage, original gum, faintly hinged, excellent color and impression, left stamp has a few black fibers on gum from mount and tiny trivial thin speck

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER PAIR OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.

The Scott Catalogue premium for an imprint and plate number pair versus two singles seems inadequate ($5,000.00 vs. $4,100.00). The premium for a plate block of four versus a block of four is nearly nine times.
