Guide line pair, deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, gorgeous centering with Jumbo margins, bold strikes of New York "S" oval registry cancelsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STUNNING USED GUIDE LINE PAIR IS THE FINEST WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. A MARVELOUS GUIDE LINE PAIR IN TERMS OF MARGINS, PERFORATIONS, COLOR, IMPRESSION AND CANCELLATION.
With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90 Jumbo; SMQ $1,300.00 as 90, $2,650.00 as 95). This is the highest grade awarded to date and the only example to achieve this grade. In our opinion this issue is undercatalogued in Scott and SMQ.
