Without gum as issued, rich color, perfs trimmed off at left, certificate states reperfed at right, but in our opinion it is not (the holes gauge perfectly and have the irregular shapes of genuine perfs)

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT 1875 CONTINENTAL BANK NOTE COMPANY SPECIAL PRINTING.

Our census of Scott 168 contains 60 copies certified as genuine. Many have perfs scissors-trimmed on at least one side and many have perforations into the design. The example offered here is very presentable, and in our opinion it is genuinely perforated at right, not reperfed as the P.F. certificate states.
