 10c Dark Green (273). Mint N.H. with top
part imprint selvage, exceptional centering with balanced margins, deep rich color on post-office fresh paperEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS SPECTACULAR MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1895 10-CENT WATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB
98 BY P.S.E. -- THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED. The 10c Green 1895 Issue with double-line watermark has an earliest known use of July 25, 1895. It superseded the 1894 unwatermarked Scott 258 and was subsequently replaced by the 10c Type I and Type II
issues in Brown and Orange Brown (Scott 282C and 283) in 1898, during the color changes necessitated by the Universal Postal Union. Examples of any of the 10c Bureau issues in Mint N.H. condition graded higher than 95 are exceedingly rare. This is
one of only two Scott 273s graded 98, while the other 10c issues each have populations of just one at 98 (one Scott 283a grades 100). With 1987 P.F. and 2017 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98; SMQ $10,000.00). This is the highest grade awarded and
it is shared by only one other. There is not even a hinged example that exceeds this 98 grade (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com

top plate no. 76 selvage, intense shade and detailed impression on bright paperEXTREMELY FINE. A RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1895 $1.00 TYPE II WATERMARKED BUREAU ISSUE. ESPECIALLY RARE WITH THE PLATE NUMBER SELVAGE. THIS IS
THE FIRST UNUSED PLATE NUMBER SINGLE WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS. The Type II with plate number is only found on the right pane of the plate of 200 subjects. A review using Power Search shows we have never offered a single
with plate number, and those contained in the five strips we have sold are all hinged. This is one of the rarest stamps of the issue to obtain in Mint N.H. condition -- we have only offered five other Mint N.H. singles since keeping computerized
records (25 years), one of which was reperfed. With 2004 P.F. certificate (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com
