3c Kans. Ovpt. (661). Mint N.H., mathematically perfect centering with Jumbo margins, rich color, post-office fresh in every respectEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS 3-CENT KANSAS OVERPRINT, GRADED GEM 100 JUMBO BY P.S.E., IS THE FINEST RECORDED STAMP OF THE ENTIRE KANSAS SET.
With 2018 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo: unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 100, SMQ $1,600.00 for 100). This is the only stamp among the entire Kansas set (1c-10c) to achieve this ultimate grade from P.S.E. (the next highest 3c is graded 98J). In fact, the underlying stamp, Scott 635, does not even have a 100J in the P.S.E. Population Report (though fewer have been submitted for grading so we feel there must be a few out there)
