U.S.; Postal Card, 1916, 1¢ on Rough Surfaced Card, Die II, USPCC #S39, superb example of the extremely scarce item as virtually all were preprinted, absolutely pristine. Due to wartime paper shortages the initial impressions were poor, the die was recut to improve the design, resulting in this Die II variety, proper card stock was obtained soon after the die recut was made, only in use for a month and a half.
Scott #UX27D. USPCC $20,000.
Scott $20,000. Probably less than 10 mint examples exist, the second most expensive listed Postal Card item and an important item for any advanced collector or exhibitor .
Estimate $15,000-20,000.
