Pan-American Exposition Invert Centennial

The FPMG cachet features two depictions of the Pan-American Exposition 'Fast Express' train stamp — the upper-left shows the original 1901 2-cent stamp in red and black, while the lower-center shows a larger, faded/ghosted version representing the invert error, both printed in red tones. The years '1901' and '2001' are printed vertically in red flanking the stamp images, commemorating the centennial. The actual affixed stamp in the upper right is the 2001 reissue of the Pan-American Invert (2-cent, red frame with inverted black locomotive vignette). The machine cancellation postmark reads 'NEW YORK NY / MAR 29 2001 / 10199' with 'FIRST DAY OF ISSUE' printed in the cancel area.

The cachet features black-and-red artwork depicting the original 1901 Pan-American Exposition 2-cent stamp with its famous inverted vignette error alongside its correctly oriented counterpart. The years '1901' and '2001' are printed vertically on either side of the artwork, with the text 'Pan-American Inverts' in bold red letters below. The affixed stamps are the 2001 Scott #3505 reissue of the invert error, cancelled with a circular postmark reading 'New York, NY' and dated 'Mar 29, 2001'. The postmark is a First Day of Issue cancellation, and the cover is in excellent condition.
