 #536, 1c Gray green offset, an eye-arresting
jumbo-margined mint example, boasting enormous margins all around and being
wonderfully well centered amid these huge boarders, a feature that is
exceptionally rare on this particular value as this experimental
perforation was so poor that half of the production was destroyed because
of inferior centering, brilliantly fresh with deep color and sharp
impression, o.g., n.h., extremely fine jumbo; 2006 PSE certificate (XF 90
Jumbo; SMQ $145.00 for 90 and $480.00 for 95).

 #537, 3c Victory, a breathtaking mint single,
possessing not only remarkably wide margins all around, but it is
absolutely perfectly centered within these impressive borders, brilliantly
fresh color on pristine white paper, immaculate o.g., n.h., superb; a
"one-in-a-million" gem that has been awarded the ultimate grade - Gem 100
Jumbo - by the PSE, the sole such example in their population report for
#537, in fact there are not even any "normal" Gem 100's in their
report; 2007 PSE certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo; SMQ $600.00 for 98, not priced

 #539, 2c Carmine rose coil waste, Ty. II, perf.
11x10, brilliantly fresh mint single, rich luxuriant color and a crisp
detailed impression, while centered just a bit to the top, this is actually
much better centered than typically encountered on this notoriously poorly
centered stamp, o.g., with just the barest trace of hinging, a very fine
example of this coil waste rarity; 1995 PF certificate ("never hinged") and
a 2006 PF certificate (VF-XF 85; SMQ $6,650.00).
