A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE. SCARCE IN SUCH WONDERFUL CONDITION. As multiples demonstrate, the spacing between stamps on the plate was very narrow.

12c Black (Scott 17). Enormous margins all around incl. part of four adjoining stamps, bright shade, crisp impression, light strike of blue circular datestamp EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E. The 12c 1851 plate was laid down with very little room between stamps — just barely one millimeter, to be exact. For this reason, collectors have a difficult time finding stamps with large margins all around. The example offered here, lightly cancelled by a blue datestamp and graded 98 Jumbo by P.S.E., is a truly rare stamp. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo, unpriced above the grade of 98 in SMQ, SMQ $4,100.00 as 98). Only two have graded higher to date.
