rare mint stamp in any condition, as only 25,000 were issued; but only a

272a |
 #272a, 8c Violet brown, watermarked "USIR" in
error, an incredibly rare full top margin imprint and plate no. 58
strip of three, clearly showing the "I" of the watermark in the sizable
sheet selvage and with the "IR" of the watermark covering all three stamps,
each stamp rather well centered, especially deep luxuriant color, full o.g.
showing just the barest suggestion of hinging (if at all), very fine;
mint examples of the Eight Cent "USIR" watermark error are among the
greatest rarities in United States philately, as only fifteen copies have
been recorded (seven mint singles, a mint pair and two plate number and
imprint strips of three); because no plate blocks are known, the strip
offered here is the only way a plate block collector can represent this
great rarity in their collection; 1987 PF certificate.
