Description

#165     CD 257     HEMINGRAY      PATENT     JUNE 17 1893     MAY 2 1893.     Swirled green mix.     Wide groove type.

A special example with error "1893" marking instead of "1890" in the "June 17" embossing.  Plus, this is the wide saddle groove type.  A tough configuration to acquire in this attractive swirled green coloration!

Appears very near mint+.  Extremely close inspection reveals a hard to detect internal fracture that follows a thread in the pinhole about half the distance around.  If not pointed out, it would likely go undetected.
