10c Blue, Special Delivery (E2). Mint N.H., bright color and detailed impression, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue with well-proportioned margins

EXTREMELY FINE. A STUNNING EXAMPLE OF THE SECOND SPECIAL DELIVERY ISSUE.

This issue was released in 1888 and was the last of the American Large Bank Note issues. Collectors of that series know the challenge of locating Mint Never-Hinged examples in superior grades. Only three examples of No. E2 have received P.S.E. grades higher than 90. In our opinion, this stamp should have made XF-Superb 95.

With 1998 P.F. certificate. With 2004 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90; SMQ $3,500.00)
