Newspaper, 1894, $6 pale blue, Bureau printing (PR101), unused without gum, beautifully centered, bright clear color. Extremely Fine. SMQ $30,000. Scott $25,000
AN EXCEPTIONAL UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE $6.00 1894 BUREAU ISSUE. REVIEWING THE PF'S "CERTIFICATE SEARCH", WE NOTE THAT THERE ARE ONLY 13 EXAMPLES CERTIFIED AS MINT/UNUSED AND OF THESE, ONLY THREE OR FOUR EXAMPLES THAT ARE THIS WELL CENTERED AND SOUND. IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO BE GRADED BY THE PSE. A CHOICE NEWSPAPER RARITY.
Expertization: with 2004 P.F. certificate and 2010 P.S.E. certificate, the latter graded VF 80.
