Description: 1898 U.S.Trans-Mississippi Issue 8c Vio Brn "Troops Train" Sc#289 M/H/OG** NoteNote: 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.One in a series of CLASSIC 19th - 20th Century U.S. postal issues to be listed this month on E-Bay.
