Showing clear “I” of watermark, original gum, lightly hinged, pretty shade, reperfed at left FINE APPEARING AND RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1895 ISSUE WITH “USIR” WATERMARK. The “USIR” (United States Internal Revenue) watermark error occurred when a supply of paper reserved for revenue stamp production was used for printing the 6c and 8c postage stamps. The 6c “USIR” Watermark error is considerably rarer than the 8c, especially in original-gum condition. We record less than ten original-gum copies. However, we are not certain how many of the stamps in multiples have the “I” or “R” portion of the watermark.
