1939 Presidential Issue Coils, Superb Graded Used Collection (839-851). 38 used items, representing each of the Scott numbers of the coil series, nearly all present in all three formats -- joint line pair, pair and single, only two stamps missing from the complete set of 39 possible, each P.S.E. graded (all but six encapsulated) with most the highest recorded, only seven are the second highest recorded, of the highest recorded stamps at least 14 have no equals in the P.S.E. Population Report, the majority are 98 grades with eight 100's, eight 95's (most of the 95's are the highest graded) and three 90's (Nos. 844, 848 and 849 line pairs, each is the highest graded), absolutely perfect condition throughout with neat cancels, only two are precancels (both are No. 840 line pairs with different precancels)

EXTREMELY FINE GEMS. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE GRADED USED COLLECTION OF 1939 PRESIDENTIAL COILS. THIS COLLECTION COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED WITH CURRENT GRADED POPULATIONS.

A spreadsheet is linked to this lot listing each stamp, its format, grade, rank in the P.S.E. Population Report and number equal, if any (or in very few cases the number higher). P.S.E. does not price these coils in used condition, but the populations at these top grades are smaller than for Mint N.H. examples, so it would be hard to overstate the rarity of this collection
