8c Olive Green, Perf 10 (589). Mint N.H., mathematically perfect centering, rich color and detailed impression, long and full perforationsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STUNNING MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF SCOTT 589 IS GRADED GEM 100 BY P.S.E., WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.
With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100; SMQ $2,450.00), this is the highest grade awarded and only three others share it. SMQ value is too low -- we sold one of the others for $5,750 hammer in 2008.
