 #128, 12c Green re-issue, an incredibly choice
mint example of this scarce re-issue, wonderfully well centered amid
unusually large margins, rich luxuriant color and an excellent impression

our opinion, to the graded XF 90 example in the recent Scarsdale Part Two
Sale (Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries, September 2006) that realized
$7,500.00, plus the buyer's premium; 2005 PSE certificate (XF 90; SMQ
