 | Lot #154 United States - Revenue Stamps Proprietary Stamps 1874 2c green and black on green paper, center inverted, faintly cancelled (appears unused), centered slightly to right, as is every known example, except this one is much better centered than most, v.f. This copy (and perhaps one other), may be the only fault free example of this rarity in existence (Scott catalogue notes "No. RB2bc is valued with fine centering and small faults"), with 1983 PFC, ex-Joyce collection. In his privately published census, Larry Lyons records twelve copies of the 2c Proprietary invert on green paper. Of these, five appear to be used, and all twelve have at least one fault, O Catalog #RB2bc Catalog Value $8,000 | Price Realized $7,500.00 |
