mint example, with each aspect of this remarkable stamp being absolute
perfection, including its mathematically precise centering amid the most
enormous margins possible, plus its color could not be more intense nor its

perforations are especially large and uniformly intact all around,
unblemished o.g., n.h., superb; this stunning stamp will undoubtedly
realize a record price and deservedly so; 1997 PF certificate and a 2006
PSE certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $2,300.00 as 98); the highest
graded example in the PSE population report and the sole example to have
