EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT WASHINGTON, SCOTT 519, GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E.

With 2004 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, Superb 98; SMQ $1,500.00). This is the highest grade awarded in any gum category and one of four to achieve it. A Mint N.H. example with this grade realized $6,000 hammer in a recent auction, and this is a wonderfully affordable alternative.
