2c Carmine, Jamestown (329). Mint N.H. with half-arrow bottom selvage, brilliant color, essentially perfect centering and Jumbo margins which are very rarely encountered on this tightly spaced issue

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT JAMESTOWN, GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E. — ONLY ONE GRADES HIGHER AND ONE OTHER SHARES THIS GRADE.

The Jamestown Issue is notorious for its tight spacing and narrow margins, which causes most copies to be off-center to some degree and nearly all to lack anything approaching Jumbo margins. Only one stamp among all three denominations has been graded Gem 100 (2c, Sale 1150, lot 994), and this is one of only four in Mint N.H. condition throughout the entire set to achieve a 98J grade.

With 2023 (for a block) and 2024 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98 Jumbo). Only one 2c grades higher and one shares this grade.
