Scott No. 1a; $7,000.
A PERFECT GEM THAT IS UNSURPASSED IN QUALITY OR BEAUTY--WORTHY OF THE FINEST COLLECTION.
The rarity of a stamp like this cannot be overstated. The few known examples with original gum are more often than not, lacking the color, the freshness or the Post Office gum as is found on this remarkable stamp.nnThis is one of two known examples graded Superb 98 Jumbo by the P.S.E. with none higher. Additionally, there are no recorded examples of the 5¢ Red Brown (Scott 1) graded higher than Superb 98, of which there is a single example, which was sold in our sale of the Peter Iwate Collection (Sale 105, Lot 3012)
