50c Deep Claret (J37). Mint N.H., rich color, wide and well-balanced marginsVERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 50-CENT 1894 POSTAGE DUE ISSUE IN THE DEEP CLARET SHADE
The 50c 1894 Unwatermarked Bureau Postage Due Issue is notorious for its typically poor centering. The combination of centering and pristine never-hinged gum makes this example very desirable. We have offered only four other Mint N.H. singles since keeping computerized records.
With 2004 P.F. and 2009 P.S.E. certificates (Fine-Very Fine 75; SMQ $2,400.00)
