15c Red Orange (189). Mint N.H., brilliant color on bright paper, essentially perfect centering, long and full perforations all around

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 15-CENT 1879 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE, GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E.

This issue is often found in Mint N.H. condition, as several sheets have been broken in the past. However, most of the stamps in these sheets are somewhat off-center, and examples such as this, with wide margins and precise centering, are very rare.

With 2019 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $9,250.00). Only one stamp grades higher (at 100, offered in our Whitman sale), and only two others share this grade -- statistics that have not changed since at least 2009
