2c Brown, Re-Issue (124). Unused (no gum), deep rich color and proof-like impression, mathematically perfect centering with unusually wide margins, long and full perforations all around

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STUNNING STAMP HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF GEM 100 BY P.S.E. -- IT IS BY FAR THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE.

With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (NG, Gem 100; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 95; SMQ $950.00 as a 95 with no gum). This is the highest grade awarded to date and the only example to achieve this grade. One used copy has been graded 95J, and beyond that the highest grade in any category is a 95. SMQ does not price the no gum or original gum stamps in any grade higher than a 95, which is an excellent indication of the rarity of this issue in higher grades.
