EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST "RUNNING MESSENGER" SPECIAL DELIVERY ISSUE, SCOTT E1. THIS REMARKABLE STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 -- ONLY ONE HAS GRADED HIGHER TO DATE.

The first Special Delivery is easily distinguished from those that follow because the explanatory text at center is straight. In subsequent issues the "Post Office" is curved.

With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $9,000.00). Only one has graded higher to date and only five others share this grade.
