2c Carmine (519). Mint N.H., unusually choice centering with well-proportioned margins, radiant color and detailed impression

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF SCOTT 519. A MAGNIFICENT STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THIS STAMP IN EXISTENCE, AND HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E.

This stamp was created in 1917 when a small excess supply of the imperforate Scott 344 was returned by the New York City post office to the Bureau for credit. Rather than issue the credit, the Bureau perforated the sheets and returned them to the New York City post office for public sale.

With 2004 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $9,100.00). Only three have attained this lofty grade, which is the highest awarded to date.
