United States 1917 2c rose, A.E.F. booklet pane of 30, lightly hinged in a few spots, beautiful color and well centered, top right stamp thin, otherwise fine-v.f., with clear 1966 Philatelic Foundation certificate (does not mention the thin). Only 2,000-3,000 of the 1c and 2c panes were prepared for use in Europe by the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Majority of the booklets were in fact destroyed, leaving no more than 20 of the 2c panes available for collectors. A rare opportunity to obtain this elusive A.E.F. booklet pane in unfolded condition, (Catalog value $ 22,500)
