1c Black on Buff, Full-Face McKinley Postal Card (UX17; USPCC S21). Mint card, without printed address, clear impression, tiny nicks at top and left, faint crease at top left corner

VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT BLACK FULL-FACE McKINLEY POSTAL CARD. EXTREMELY RARE WITHOUT THE PRINTED ADDRESS.

The entire stock of 500 Full-Face McKinley cards was inadvertently sent from Washington to Booth, Dailey & Ivins in New York where they were shortly thereafter pre-printed with their address and garbage dumping information on the back to be filled out by the tug captain. As a result of the shipment there remained no mint cards for collectors. This "Unmarked Specimen" long ago became accepted as a full mint card in order to allow collectors to have a complete unused collection. Albert Daggett, the contractor for the printing of the Full-Face card, was never able to satisfy the Post Office Department in Washington due to sub-standard quality of his productions. All submitted samples were rejected and as a result the entire stock of 1,625,000 cards was ordered destroyed by the PMG on April 29, 1902.

USPCC value $11,000.
