$1.00 Green & Black, Third Issue, Center Inverted (Scott R144a). Deep rich colors, unobtrusive cut cancels, light creases VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 THIRD ISSUE REVENUE WITH INVERTED CENTER. ONE OF THE GREAT REVENUE RARITIES. In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records a total of 26 copies. The example offered here is not included in the census and becomes No. 27. Of these five are on one document and one is on another, leaving 21 copies not on documents. At least 14 of the 21 have faults, leaving only seven sound or potentially sound copies, most of which have mixed centering. The example offered here, without an obscuring cancel, with nice centering and with minimal faults, is a great rarity. Ex Cunliffe. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2014, Sale 1089, Lot 530 |
