Sale 1231, Lot 689, Postage Due30c Pale Rose (J36b). Mint N.H., radiant color, detailed impression, perfectly centered

EXTREMELY FINE GEM EXAMPLE OF THE 1895 30-CENT PALE ROSE POSTAGE DUE ISSUE, SCOTT J36b. THIS REMARKABLE STAMP IS GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS BY FAR THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO ANY SHADE OF THIS STAMP, AND IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE THIS GRADE.

Ex "Hanover". With 2014 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $3,800.00). This is the highest grade awarded to any Mint N.H. shade (the highest J36 is 85, none graded for J36a). No others share this grade. We are mystified as to why SMQ only assigns roughly a 4x premium for 98 versus 80 -- normally the premium is much higher, especially with low Population Report numbers
