Description
24c carmine rose and blue INVERTED CENTER. Beautiful,
bright fresh copy. Extremely well centered and very fine, o. g.
Only a handful of copies in such fine condition are available
to collectors and they are rarely offered. Two copies similar to this have sold at auction for over $4000.00 each. Probably
the most famous of all U.S. stamps and worth at least full
catalogue. (See photo)
