 1862, 2c Black, Greenish Blue
(14). Plate 3-Gx, Type III, Position 1, enormous margins all around
including top left corner sheet margins, cancelled by bold jet-black
7-bar square grid (Gregory sqgrid20-7) and part of Lahaina circular
datestampEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS ARGUABLY THE FINEST USED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1862 2-CENT NUMERAL ON GREENISH BLUE PAPER. In our opinion, this stamp is superior to the four other sound Extremely Fine used copies we located in Caspary, Honolulu Advertiser and Pietsch sales, by virtue of its huge margins all around. Illustrated in Crocker book and presumably ex Crocker. (Image) |
