8c Olive Green, Bluish (363). Choice centering with wide margins, intense color on deeply blued paper

EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 8-CENT WASHINGTON ON BLUISH PAPER. A GREAT RARITY IN SUCH WONDERFUL CONDITION.

According to Johl (Vol. 1, page 175), the only source of the 4c and 8c Bluish stamps was the archives of the Post Office Department. Approximately 80 of each were traded for rare stamps missing from the archives.

With 2006 P.F. and 2009 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, VF-XF 85; SMQ $52,500.00). Only two have graded higher to date and only one other shares this grade.
