 #443, 1c Green flat plate coil, perf. 10 vert., a
fabulous quality used single of this coil, which is actually a very
challenging stamp to find in gem used condition, absolutely perfectly
centered within large margins, deep luxuriant color and a prooflike
impression on bright white paper, light machine cancel, a superb gem in
every regard; the difficult in obtaining gem used copies of this coil can
be found in the fact that PSE does not price anything higher than a 90 (at
$135.00); 2007 PSE certificate (Gem 100); this is by far the highest
grade the PSE has assigned to a used #442, and the only example (mint or
used) to receive the impressive Gem 100 designation. (Image) |
