stamp that is on virtually every mint collector's want list, as certified
original gum copies are rarely offered in any condition, this particular
example possesses much better centering than typically found, strong color,
full o.g., lightly hinged, light horizontal crease at top and a trivial
tear at bottom, very fine appearance; 2001 PF certificate. (Image) |

 #68, 10c Yellow green, a spectacular mint example
of a stamp that is incredibly difficult to find in such premium condition
as this, possessing huge balanced margins that would be the envy of its
re-issue counterpart, and are impossible to find on the normal issue, its
color is stunning as well, being a deep "sage" green and with a superbly
detailed impression, full o.g., relatively lightly hinged, an extremely
fine gem; a true condition rarity; 1993 and 2004 PF certificates, as well
as a 1995 PSE certificate; ex-Weisman.
