EXTYREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT PERF 10 ERROR, GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. -- ONLY ONE GRADES HIGHER AND THREE OTHERS SHARE THIS GRADE.

P.S.E. encapsulated (Superb 98; SMQ $12,000.00). Only one grades higher (at 100, realized $14,000 hammer in our recent Myerson sale) and three others share this desirable grade. This is the first in this grade we have offered since our 2015 Curtis sale. The example offered here, with near-perfect centering and showing the 2c denominations on adjoining stamps, is highly desirable.
