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.

The example offered here, with near-perfect centering and showing the 2c denominations on adjoining stamps, is highly desirable.
