425 og image15c Orange, Special Printing (199). Without gum as issued, brilliant color, fine impression, perfect centering with wide balanced margins, insignificant tiny thin spot at left

EXTREMELY FINE GEM APPEARANCE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 15-CENT 1880 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING. APPROXIMATELY 30 EXIST.

The mesh and weave of the 1880 Special Printing soft paper leaves stamps prone to thinning. We have also seen bright spots in the mesh that are natural to the paper (British philatelists call them "air holes", which are not thins). The tiny characteristic paper irregularity is noted as a "thin spot", but we feel it is likely to be natural.

With 1975 P.F. certificate. (Image)
