Outstanding United States Stamps continued...

$1.00-$2.00 1898 Trans-Mississippi Issue (Scott 292-293)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
1653 nh Image$1.00 Trans-Mississippi (292). Mint N.H., exceptionally well-centered, marvelous intense shade on crisp white paper

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SPECTACULAR MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE, WIDELY REGARDED AS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL UNITED STATES COMMEMORATIVE STAMP EVER ISSUED.

The $1.00 Trans-Mississippi's long-time popularity with collectors led to hinging of the vast majority of singles. Although blocks have been broken over the years to supply Mint N.H. singles, it seems that grading is always a compromise between perfect centering and margin width. Only in a few instances do we find the combination of Mint N.H. condition, Extremely Fine Gem centering and wide balanced margins. This stamp is one of those rare examples combining everything that could be desired. (Image)
