EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STUNNING MINT NEVER-HINGED PAIR OF SCOTT 391 HAS BEEN GRADED GEM 100 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

Coil pairs, and especially guide line pairs, are difficult to obtain in this high grade. For multiples such as this both stamps must be perfectly centered.

With 2012 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100; SMQ $7,500.00). This is the highest grade awarded and only one other shares this desirable grade. This is the first time we have offered this grade in one of our auctions. (Image)
