50c Parcel Post (Q10). Mint N.H., Jumbo margins and precise centering, vivid color on post-office fresh paperEXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN OUTSTANDING HUGE MARGINED 50-CENT PARCEL POST STAMP WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E.
The 50c and $1.00 stamps are the key values to the set of 1913 Parcel Post stamps and the 50c is regarded as the most challenging to find in superb condition. This stamp, with its wide margins and centering, would be a key addition to a superb collection of never-hinged stamps.
With 2011 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 98, SMQ $7,000.00 as 98). This is the only example to achieve this grade. One has graded higher, at Gem 100, but the Jumbo margins on this example make it equally striking
