476A |
 #476A, 30c Orange red, the extremely rare
unwatermarked, perforated 10 issue, an incredibly fresh and desirable
mint example of this notoriously difficult and elusive stamp, possessing a
marvelous overall freshness, with rich luxuriant color and a sharp detailed
impression on bright paper, while centered just slightly to the left, this
is actually far better centered than the vast majority of the small
existing population (most are strongly off center, often well into the
design), pristine o.g., never hinged, very fine and exceedingly choice; one
of the rarest U.S. stamps of the 20th century, with only two sheets
recorded (200 stamps total), this being position 83 from the plate no. 6911
sheet; 1984 (photocopy) and 2005 PF certificates.

offered both in choice quality and never hinged; 1997 PSE certificate
