10c Panama-Pacific, Perf 10 (404). Mint N.H., vibrant color and proof-like impression on post-office fresh paper, almost perfectly centered with wide margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SPECTACULAR EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT PANAMA-PACIFIC PERF 10, WHICH HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E.

Long before numerical grading, the rarity of 10c Panama-Pacific Perf 10 stamps in superb condition (hinged or not) was well-established. The 10-gauge perfs on this issue are almost always uneven or shortened from separation. Centering is rarely above Fine. Finally, the Orange ink on many examples has darkened. This stamp is the exception on all counts.

With 2011 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $8,250.00). Only one has graded higher and seven others share this highly desirable grade. (Image)
