$2.00 Dark Blue (Scott 312). Mint N.H., deep rich color on bright white paper, almost perfect centering with wide margins all around EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SPECTACULAR MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $2.00 1902 ISSUE IN THE FINEST CONDITION ATTAINABLE. A TRULY REMARKABLE STAMP IN EVERY RESPECT — CENTERING, COLOR, CLARITY OF IMPRESSION, PAPER FRESHNESS AND GUM. As discussed in the description of the 1902 50c value, collecting practices and time have left very few superb Mint N.H. examples for today’s collectors. This is particularly true for the high $2.00 and $5.00 values of this series which were printed in much smaller quantities than the lower values. This stamp should be considered a true condition rarity. Ex Scarsdale. With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95, SMQ value $14,400.00). This is the highest grade awarded to date, and is one of only five examples to achieve XF-Superb 95 status. SMQ does not even price this stamp in any grade above a 95 Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2010, Sale 1000, Lot 1188 |
