$1.00 Violet Black (478). Mint N.H. top imprint, “A”, and plate no. 5782 block of six with wide selvage, deep dark color and sharp proof-like impression, remarkably post-office fresh and intact EXTREMELY FINE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED PLATE BLOCK OF THE $1.00 PERF 10 UNWATERMARKED FRANKLIN ISSUE WITH WIDE TOP SELVAGE. Plate blocks of Scott 478 are extremely rare, especially in Mint N.H. condition. A review of important plate block collections turned up very few. The only other Mint N.H. plate block we were able to locate was sold in our sale of the Silver Lake collection, but it is not centered as well as the Mint N.H. plate block offered here. With 2008 P.S.E. certificate. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2008, Sale 967, Lot 4834 |

$1.00 Violet Black (478). Mint N.H., deep rich color and proof-like impression which shows every minute detail of the design, magnificent centering with wide and balanced margins EXTREMELY FINE GEM. WITHOUT QUESTION THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLES OF THE $1.00 PERF 10 UNWATERMARKED FRANKLIN ISSUE. THIS SPECIAL STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. — THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE AND THIS IS ALSO THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE THIS GRADE. This stamp was used for less than six months before the Perf 11 stamps were produced. Due to its short production run and the only difference between this and the previous $1.00 issue (Scott 460) being the watermark, many collectors and dealers of the day overlooked this issue. It is especially scarce with such perfect centering. With 1987 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98, SMQ price $27,000.00). This is the highest grade awarded to date and the only example to achieve this grade. A comparison with other dollar-value Franklins also confirms that this is one of the scarcest to obtain in such a high grade. Scott 423 equals this one, with only one in the P.S.E. Population Report report. Scott 460 has five graded at 98, and Scott 518 is the easiest to obtain in high grades. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2008, Sale 967, Lot 4831 |

$1.00 Violet Black (478). Mint N.H., perfect centering with wide and well-balanced margins, intense color and impression on bright paper EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 PERF 10 UNWATERMARKED FRANKLIN ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95. ONLY ONE HAS GRADED HIGHER TO DATE IN THE P.S.E. POPULATION REPORT. This issue was in use for less than six months before the Perf 11 stamps were produced. Due to its short production run and it differing from the previous $1.00 issue (Scott 460) only by its lack of a watermark, many collectors and dealers of the day overlooked this issue. It is especially scarce with such perfect centering. With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95, SMQ value $10,800.00). Only one has graded higher to date (offered in the previous lot), and only nine others share this desirable grade. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Dec 2008, Sale 967, Lot 4832 |
