10c Green, Special Delivery (E7). Mint N.H. with plate no. 4920 selvage at top, rich color and crisp impression, gorgeous centering with Jumbo marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF SCOTT E7, WHICH IS GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E.
With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $1,800.00). Only two have graded higher (both 100J) and only one other shares this desirable grade. In our opinion SMQ is too low -- although we have never offered this grade before in one of our auctions, we have sold one of the two 100 Jumbos before, for $8,500 hammer.
