PR98

Newspaper, 1894, 60¢ pink, Bureau printing. O.g., particularly well centered for this with lovely fresh color; small tear at lower left, light creasing along the top perforations and a light vertical ink smear and a single missing perf at upper right, otherwise Very Fine, with 2015 P.F. certificate.
Scott No. PR98; $40,000 for the grade of fine.

Probably no more than 25 examples of this rare stamp exist. This one, in particular, is quite desirable, as its faults are quite minimal when compared to other recorded examples. In addition, it is better centered than almost all of the others - Scott notes that its value is for stamps in the grade of Fine. An important rarity for the collector of Newspaper stamps. (Image1)
