EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1851 TYPE IV IMPERFORATE WITH AN ORANGE-RED RAILROAD ROUTE AGENT'S CANCEL -- AND GRADED GEM 100 BY P.S.E.

The P.S.E. Population Report lists 15 used examples of Scott No. 9 at the grade of Gem 100 or Gem 100 Jumbo. We have offered 12 unduplicated examples from this population and not a single one has a colored cancel, much less a railroad route agent's cancel. This stamp is a true condition rarity and is one of the finest 1c Type IV's extant.

Ex Neinken, Wagshal and "Golden Oak" as a vertical pair (this the bottom stamp). With 2014 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100; SMQ $2,750.00), calling the cancel "red" -- it is at least orange-red and we would go so far as to call it orange if that did not contradict the certificate and risk a return
