Although the margins of the TC18 are slightly askew, you’d be hard pressed to find another single that exhibits such rich color. Springer lists the color as rose, but this denomination was printed in both rose and a rich red. Thus, a scarce example.
The green $8/thousand is the most difficult of the five stamps in the series to obtain. Other than a light, unobtrusive stain in the right margin it is a superb example.
Center creases are not immediately visible and mentioned for accuracy. This is a premium set! Will be shipped in a SAFE album page, spaced as shown.
