A BEAUTIFUL IMPRINT AND PLATE NUMBER PAIR OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.

The premium for a plate block of four versus a block of four is more than ten times.

2570		$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Block of four, original gum, h.r., lovely bright color, nicely centered for this challenging issue, almost imperceptible natural light paper wrinkle top right stamp FINE-VERY FINE BLOCK OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE.

2571		$2.00 Trans-Mississippi (293). Brilliant color and precisely balanced margins, light strike of just the rim and two letters of a circular datestamp, trace of guideline at top EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE. THIS STAMP IS EXCEEDINGLY RARE WITH CHOICE CENTERING AND A LIGHT CANCEL. While the top value of the Trans-Mississippi Issue is occasionally found well-centered, it invariably has a heavy cancel. This sound example with a light cancel is a true condition rarity. With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90, SMQ $2,300.00). This likely would have been graded 95 without the trace of the guideline at top, which is, of course, a completely natural occurrence and does not detract from the beauty of this stamp (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com	1,100.00 SOLD for $3,250.00 Will close during Public Auction
