1c Deep Green, Vertical Watermark (279a). Full letter “S” of watermark in clear vertical orientation, exceptional centering with wide margins, vivid color on bright paper, Extremely Fine Gem, a superb example of this variety which was produced in error, with 2007 P.F. (XF 90) and 2011 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95, unpriced in SMQ), this is the only used example of Scott 279a listed in the P.S.E.
