EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A HUGE EXAMPLE OF THE 1851 ONE-CENT TYPE IV, WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E.

With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $1,800.00 for 98, unpriced above the grade of 98). Having the graded certificate only confirms the obvious, but it is worth noting that only one stamp has received a higher P.S.E. grade.
