 2c Black (73). Intense shade, beautifully
centered with wide and balanced margins, socked-on-the-nose strike of vivid red Circle of Diamonds fancy cancelEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB UNGRILLED BLACK JACK WITH ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CANCELS WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED. This is a
stamp of such astonishing beauty that it made the Siegel 1992 Rarities of the World sale despite a modest catalogue value of $30.00 at the time (realized $1,600 hammer). We have no idea what numerical grade it would receive, nor do we really care,
because this stamp rises above any kind of system based purely on measurement. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |
