unusually wide margins, this stamp also shows the Split Grill
varietyEXTREMELY FINE JUMBO. A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED
EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST MINT
NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THIS STAMP WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING
COMPUTERIZED RECORDS AND IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE ONLY CHOICE MINT
NEVER-HINGED COPY IN EXISTENCE.. A search of past auction catalogues
failed to find this stamp's equal. The few blocks that exist have either
disturbed original gum or are hinged, and so will not yield Mint N.H.
singles. With 1989 P.F. certificate. P.S.E. encapsulated (VF-XF 85
Jumbo). Unpriced in SMQ or Scott in Mint N.H. condition. In the absence of
any reliable pricing information, we have conservatively estimated this
unique stamp's market value. (Image) |
