EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 COLUMBIAN.
With 2000 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $2,750.00). Only one has graded higher (at 95J) and only five others share this desirable grade. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.
The Columbian Exposition was open from May 1 to October 30, 1893, and the use of this exposition marking is very unusual. The $2.00 is one of the most difficult of all dollar-value Columbians to obtain in such superb condition.
With 1992 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98; SMQ $8,000.00). This is the highest grade awarded and only three others share it. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES OF THE $3.00 COLUMBIAN ISSUE IN EXISTENCE. THIS PHENOMENAL STAMP HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E., WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.
The dollar-value Columbians are rarely found with centering that would qualify for a high numerical grade, but in used condition they are further handicapped by heavy registry cancels, which almost invariably knock points off the final grade. The $3.00 offered here is extraordinary not only for its precise centering and wide margins, but the lightly-struck cancel leaves the entire design visible. We doubt that more than a handful of any Columbian dollar values will ever reach Superb 98 status.
With 1999 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98; SMQ $10,500.00). This is the highest grade awarded to Scott 243a and only one other shares it, a statistic that has not changed since 2008. Only one example of the main shade, Scott 243, has achieved this grade. (Image)
