30c Orange Brown (217). Huge Jumbo margins and wonderfully well-centered, brilliant color, duplex cancel, Extremely Fine Gem, a spectacular example of this issue, Brookman notes "the lighter color makes fine used copies difficult to find and I doubt if one in a hundred could be rated as superb", with 2006 P.F. (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo) and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 95, SMQ $780.00 as 95), this is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by no others
