Sale 1262, Lot 1028, 1922-29 and Later Issues$1.00 Violet Black (571). Mint N.H., crisp impression, perfectly centered with Jumbo margins, long and full perforations

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS MAGNIFICENT STAMP IS GRADED GEM 100 JUMBO BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE POSSIBLE AND THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE IT. THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY DOLLAR-DENOMINATED VALUE OF THE SET TO ACHIEVE THIS ULTIMATE GRADE.

With 2022 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo; unpriced in this grade in SMQ, SMQ $1,750.00 as 100). This is the highest grade possible on the grading chart and it is the only example to achieve it. No examples of the $2.00 and $5.00 (Scott 572 and 573) have achieved this perfect grade, leaving this as the sole dollar-denominated stamp with a perfect grade.
