EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 4-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 446.

With 1988 and 2000 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90 Jumbo; SMQ $3,250.00 as 90, $6,450.00 as 95). Only three have graded higher to date (all at 95) and only one other shares this grade. It is extremely difficult to obtain guide line pairs for most issues in the higher grades, because they often do not measure well when the guide line is taken into consideration.
