 #262, $2.00 Bright blue, a phenomenal quality
used example, boasting absolutely huge margins for this value and being
precisely centered within them, luxuriously rich color and a clean detailed
impression on bright paper, light black cancel with traces of a violet
cancel, an extremely fine used gem; the Two Dollar Unwatermarked Bureau
issue is the rarest of the series to find used in sound collectable
quality, but to find one in this superb condition is an almost impossible
task; signed Jakubek BPP. (Image) |

 #263, $5.00 Dark green, an incredibly choice mint
example of this high value, one of the rarest regularly issued stamps of
the United States, with only 25,000 copies having been issued, and only a
tiny fraction of these still exist in the premium condition found on this
exciting stamp, possessing near perfect centering amid large margins,
intense color and a well incised impression on bright paper, full clean
o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine for this; 1979 and 1996 PF
certificates, as well as a 2006 PSE certificate (VF 80 - unquestionably
conservative in our opinion; SMQ $5,450.00); ex-Billington,
Killien. (Image) |

of this rare and difficult high value, being rather well centered within
extraordinarily large margins, possessing especially deep luxuriant color,
strong impression, full o.g. with only a trace of hinging, very fine and
choice; a rare mint stamp in any condition, as only 25,000 were issued, but
only a minute number still exist in sound original gum condition; photocopy
of a 2002 PF certificate for a block of four, this being the bottom right
stamp. (Image) |

margined used example of this rare high value, being wonderfully well

well with its bright paper, neat central strike of oval registry postmark,
extremely fine; a very difficult stamp to find in this choice used quality;
