2c Vermilion (178). Mint N.H., brilliant color on crisp paper, choice centering with wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1875 2-CENT VERMILION CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E. — THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

A search of our computerized records indicates that the 2c 1875 Issue is exceedingly difficult to find in high-grade Mint N.H. condition, despite its modest Scott Catalogue value. The example offered here is certainly one of the finest extant.

Ex "Scarsdale". 1995 P.F. certificate for block of four no longer accompanies. With 2005 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95). This is the highest grade awarded and only one other shares it (last offered by us in 2008).
