#197, 10c Deep brown special printing, without gum as issued, a magnificent example of this important Special Printing rarity, fabulously well centered within very large margins, sumptuously rich color and an incredibly detailed impression on immaculate paper, completely free of the faults that plague most known copies, an extremely fine gem in every regard; unquestionably one of the very finest of the fewer than 30 known examples; the catalog value of this stamp bears little relationship to the true market value of a copy in such outstanding quality; 1988 PF certificate;
