Sale 1375, Lot 294, The PSE #1 All-Time Finest Set of 1869 Re-issues Used

12c Green, Re-Issue (128). Deep rich color and detailed impression, bold strike of New York registry oval cancel, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A GORGEOUS USED EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL RE-ISSUE, GRADED XF 90 BY P.S.E. THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST IN EXISTENCE.

With 1995 P.F. and 2016 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90)—how much better centered does this stamp have to be to achieve 95? Only one grades higher (at 95) and three others share this desirable grade. These are very low Population Report numbers.
