EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 10-CENT GREEN TYPE II, WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE.

With 1992 and 2003 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $1,750.00). This is the highest graded awarded to date. A total of eleven used 10c Type II perforated stamps are reported in the current P.S.E. Population Report, but we wonder how many of the others have a neat colorful cancel.
