 5c Blue (304). Mint N.H. with wide left plate
no. 1538 selvage with string of plate printers' initials, intense shade and impression, perfectly centered with Jumbo marginsEXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST EXAMPLES OF THE 5-CENT 1903 ISSUE IN EXISTENCE. THIS
MARVELOUS STAMP IS GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E., AND IT IS THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE THIS GRADE. The 5c stamp was used to pay the U.P.U. rate to foreign destinations and so a large quantity was printed. Despite its large printing of just
over 550 million (including the rare coils and imperfs), it is difficult to obtain in such superb condition. Only seven have graded higher than 95, and the highest grade we have offered in one of our auctions is 95J. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate
(Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $4,250.00). This is the highest grade awarded and the only to achieve it. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
