$1.92 Pale Brown, 1879 Issue (PR71). Mint N.H., exceptional depth of color, perfectly centered with wide margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE $1.92 1879 NEWSPAPER ISSUE IN MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. A WONDERFUL CONDITION RARITY.

We have offered only one other Mint N.H. example of this issue since keeping computerized records. Ex Inman. With 2001 P.F. and 2016 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $1,200.00 as hinged, which bears no relation to the last sale of this stamp in 2016 when it realized $2,600 hammer). This is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by no others. The next highest for a Mint N.H. stamp is VF 80. Scott Retail as hinged
