#315, 5c Blue imperforate, a magnificent used
horizontal pair, possessing extra-large and wonderfully well balanced
margins, luxuriously rich color and a sharp impression, very light and
unobtrusive "Washington/D.C." oval cancels, extremely fine; a gem example
of this very rare used pair believed to be the finest of the less than
nine pairs that have been certified by the Philatelic Foundation; the
frequently offered fake or non-contemporaneous cancels on this issue have
kept the catalog value unrealistically low in comparison to the incredible
rarity of genuine used examples; 1997 PF certificate.
