Sale 913, Lot 813, 1902-08 Issues$5.00 Dark Green (313). Mint N.H., deep rich color and proof-like impression, well-centered for this most difficult issue

VERY FINE AND CHOICE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $5.00 1902 ISSUE.

The $5.00 1902 is one of the rarest of all 20th Century regular issues in Mint Never Hinged condition. Perhaps because collectors proudly hinged this dollar value in their albums, very few stamps seem to have escaped such a fate. Only blocks -- rarely well-centered and also often hinged -- have provided the few Mint Never-Hinged stamps that exist today.

With 1991 P.F. certificate
