1c Green, Die I, Gray Rough-Surfaced Postal Card (UX27C; USPCC S38). Mint card without printed address, wonderfully fresh

VERY FINE. A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF THE RARE MINT DIE 1 ON GRAY ROUGH-SURFACED CARD.

In 1916, during a war-time paper shortage, this substandard grade of card stock was used temporarily, for a period of about two months. They were not sold singly, but were supplied to printers. This accounts for their great rarity without printed addresses. The printed address cards catalogue only $400.00. With 1970 P.F. certificate. USPCC $4,000.00
