Population Report with at least a 95J grade, and in fact, all the other values except the $1.00 and the 6c have at least a 98 grade reported (Image)

3466   Image15c Pale Ultramarine (340). Brilliant color, Jumbo margins and mathematically perfect centering, light town cancel, Extremely Fine Gem, an absolutely superb example of this issue, with 2010 P.S.A.G certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo), with 2011 P.F. and 2010 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98 Jumbo, SMQ $480.00 as 98, unpriced in higher grade), as a 98J this is the highest grade awarded in the P.S.E. Population Report with no others achieving this grade, whether P.S.A.G. is correct in its call of 100J or P.S.E. is correct is academic as this is quite likely the finest used example extant (Image)
