$5.00 Dark Green (313). Mint N.H., rich color and sharp impression, wide marginsVERY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $5.00 1902 ISSUE.
We commented on how difficult it is to find spectacular never-hinged examples of this issue in our discussion of the 50c value. This is especially true when it comes to the $5.00 denomination. This fact is made abundantly clear when you realize that the highest grade awarded by P.S.E. to a $5.00 value in never-hinged condition is a 90, given to only one stamp.
With 2000 P.F. certificate. With 2004 P.S.E. certificate (VF 80; SMQ $7,100.00)
