$5.00 Dark Green (313). Mint N.H. with part imprint at top, deep rich color and proof-like impression, beautiful centering with wide and balanced margins, lightly hinged in selvage only EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $5.00 1902 ISSUE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT ISSUE TO OBTAIN IN SUCH CHOICE MINT NEVER-HINGED CONDITION. The 1902-03 Regular Issue was a great improvement over the Bureau’s first efforts in 1894 and 1895. Perforations tend to be cleaner, and centering better, but the large plate layout and perforating method still resulted in a large number of poorly centered stamps. Furthermore, stamps issued in choice condition seldom stayed that way, because the boom in stamp collecting that began with the Roosevelt administration caused hordes of hinge-bearing philatelists to mount stamps over and over again. For this reason, today’s collectors have grown accustomed to paying many multiples of Scott value for Extremely Fine stamps in Mint Never-Hinged state. This is especially true when it comes to the $5.00 denomination. This fact is made abundantly clear when you realize that the highest grade awarded by P.S.E. to a $5.00 value in never-hinged condition is a 90, given to only two stamps. With 1998 P.S.E. and 1999 P.F. certificates, the former as a strip of three. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Sep 2009, Sale 968B, Lot 385 |

With 2001 P.F. and 2006 P.S.E. certificates (OGph, XF-Superb 95, SMQ $6,000.00). This is an exceedingly difficult stamp to find in the higher grades — the highest grade for Mint N.H. is a 90, the highest grade for a used copy is a 95 (one) and only four hinged copies have graded higher than a 95.
