1898 U.S.Trans-Mississippi Issue 4c "Hunting Bison" Sc#287 Used Numeral 2 Cancelled*
Note: The Trans-Mississipp stamps of 1898 are among the most scarcest and most desirble of all U.S. Issues.
The Trans-Mississippi commemorative stamps were printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Original plans called for the series to be printed in bi-color. However, the Spanish-American War strained the resources of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which was overburdened by the demand for revenue stamps to fund the war. The Trans-Mississippi commemoratives were printed in a single color, with the 1¢ denomination printed with yellow green ink.
