o
1898, 50¢ Trans-Miss. (291), a spectacular appearing used single, being wonderfully centered in uncharacteristically huge margins for any Trans-Miss. Slight faults, none of which are visible to the naked eye. Otherwise Extremely Fine, surely a contender for the finest appearing used 50¢ Trans-Miss.
