1c Blue, Ty. V (24). Position 95R7 from the bottom row, Jumbo perfectly balanced margins, bright color and sharp Plate 7 impression on crisp paper, light strike of circular datestamp EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SPECTACULAR USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PERFORATED TYPE V, GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E. THIS IS THE WIDEST-MARGINED EXAMPLE WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED. Wide side margins are the norm for 1c Type V stamps printed from Plates 5 and 7 to 10, but the enormous and balanced top and bottom margins on this example are extremely unusual. The stamp was printed from Plate 7, one of the first of the Type V plates and one that produced sharp clear impressions. A few bottom-row stamps from Plates 5 and 7 show wide-spaced horizontal perforations, comparable to the wide-spaced stamps from Plate 4. Ex Wagshal. With 2011 P.F. and P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98 Jumbo, unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 98, SMQ $2,500.00 as 98). This stamp stands alone as the highest grade awarded for a Scott 24 in either used or unused condition Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Oct 2012, Sale 1032, Lot 3062 |
