Ex Depew. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; SMQ $2,250.00). With 2019 P.F. certificate (XF-Superb 95). This is a very elusive coil in the higher grades. No Mint N.H. pair has been graded by P.S.E. higher than the 90 offered here and no others even share this 90 grade. The XF-Superb 95 grade by the P.F. is also the highest awarded. Whichever expertizer is correct on the numerical grade this is a stunning pair.
