6c Carmine (148). Original gum, bright color, essentially perfect centering with Jumbo margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A TRULY SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 6-CENT 1870 NATIONAL BANK NOTE ISSUE -- COMBINING COLOR, CENTERING, JUMBO MARGINS -- AND GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 JUMBO BY P.S.E..

Unlike its counterparts in the Continental and American Bank Note Company issues, the 6c National is rarely found in the highest grades with original gum. This Jumbo-margined example is easily one of the finest extant.

With 2017 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; SMQ $7,250.00). Only one stamp in the P.S.E. Population Report grades higher -- at 98 and without a Jumbo appellation. This is the only example graded 95J
