Fr. 1910-L $1 1981-A San Francisco L-F Obstructed Print with Retained Fragment
Grade: Gem New
Two piece error; the Bart reference lists lesser examples at $7,500 and categorizes this as a R-9 mistake, fully on par with double denominations, when in fact, these are rarer. This example is a failed splice, with the entire width of the back imprinted on sizing paper, which is not BEP stock. The inspectors should have removed this portion of the sheet and restarted the press. Their mistake is your fortune. Utterly amazing, as the embossing from the overprint punches through the void on the back. Despite a potential for a run away realization, we will be conservative with our estimate.
