 #128, 12c Green re-issue, an incomparable mint example, perfectly centered amid immensely large margins unlike any other example of this value we have seen, and
contributing further to this stamp's spectacular eye appeal is its incredibly intense color and a deeply etched impression on bright crisp paper, unusually even and intact perforations all around (including all four corner perforation tips), full
o.g., relatively lightly hinged, superb; we are aware of no finer existing example among the 1,584 sold; 1988 and 2004 PF certificates; ex-Engel, Welling and Floyd. (Image) |

 #132, 90c Carmine and black re-issue, a phenomenal mint example of this re-issue rarity, possessing margins of truly immense proportions and being absolutely
perfectly centered within them, magnificently rich colors and razor-sharp impressions on brilliantly white paper, unusually clean full o.g. that has been only very lightly hinged, a superb gem in every regard.This breathtaking mint example is
surely the "ultimate" quality copy of this popular stamp. There is no single aspect of this stamp that could be improved upon. When one thinks of what makes a stamp a true gem one only needs to refer to this stamp as the perfect illustration of what
constitutes a gem. It is simply perfect. We seriously doubt a finer copy exists among the 1,356 sold.Accompanied by 1978, 1993 and 2003 PF certificates, as well as a 2005 PSE certificate (Superb 98 OGph; SMQ $31,500.00); this is one of only
three examples to achieve Superb 98 status, the highest grade awarded to date, and we believe it to be the finest among this elite trio; ex-"Westchester". (Image) |
