EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1914 20-CENT FRANKLIN, WHICH IS GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. THIS IS A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO OBTAIN IN SUCH OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
This is the first 20c stamp to be issued in the Washington-Franklin series, and was intended for use especially on parcel post packages after the discontinuance of special stamps for that purpose. It was in use for approximately six months before the perforation gauge was changed from 12 to 10.
With 2005 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $4,750.00). Only two have graded higher and one other shares this grade. (Image)

The only examples contained in Power Search are from the left position (7049, offered in Sale 1078), left position (7940, offered in 2006), top position (7057, offered in our 2013 Rarities sale), top position (7057, offered in our 2015 Curtis sale) and top position (7049, offered in our 2015 Hall sale) (Image)
