 #498d, 1c Green, double impression, an
extraordinarily rare and choice used example of this impressive variety,
exhibiting two complete and distinctive impressions of the design, well
centered amid large margins, strong rich color, very light and unobtrusive

little significance in one 2c stamp, extremely fine.
