Mint N.H. joint line pair, well-centered, fresh and bright color, Very Fine and choice, with 2006 P.S.E. certificate (VF 80; SMQ $550.00), this is an extremely difficult line pair to find in the higher grades in Mint N.H. condition, only one example has graded higher (at 85), those collectors holding our for a line pair graded in the 90's may be in for a very long wait, using Power Search we located only one possibility -- the ex "Scarsdale" example last sold in our 2013 sale of the "Golden Oak" collection (realized $6,250 hammer) -- but it is now buried in a long-term collection
