2c Pale Red Brown, Special Printing (Scott 211B). Mint N.H., brilliant color and paper, beautiful centering, long and full perforations all around EXTREMELY FINE GEM. ONE OF THE FINEST MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLES OF THE 2-CENT 1885 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING IN EXISTENCE. In 1885 the American Bank Note Co. experimented with a Hoe & Co. steam-powered, chain-driven printing press to increase the rate of production. New plates of 200 subjects were created for use on the steam press, including one with the distinctive “STEAMER – AMERICAN BANK NOTE CO.” imprint at the top center of the plate. Five sheets of 200 stamps were printed from this “Steamer” plate and sent to the Post Office Department. Since the full sheets were intended to be divided into panes of 100, the vertical gutter between the two panes was left imperforate. These sheets were later sold into the philatelic market and divided into smaller units. With 1985 and 1999 P.F. certificates. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2012, Sale 1036, Lot 139 |
