5c Blue, Coil (355). Mint N.H. guide line pair, brilliant color and detailed impression, remarkably choice centering with balanced marginsEXTREMELY FINE. A GORGEOUS MINT NEVER-HINGED GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 5-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 355.
With 1976, 1999 P.F. and 2004 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $5,750.00). This is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by only two others -- a statistic that has not changed since we sold this guide line pair in our 2007 Scarsdale sale. A review of our computerized records shows that we have on average offered one Mint N.H. guide line pair a year for the past 15 years. Very few of those compare favorably to the example offered here.
