#471, 9c Salmon red, an incredible jumbo-margined mint example of this surprisingly difficult value, boasting the most enormous margins imaginable, and being
virtually perfectly centered within this vast expanse, sumptuously rich color as well, with a much stronger impression than usual on bright fresh paper, uniformly even and intact perforations contribute further to this stamp's spectacular eye-appeal,
immaculate o.g., never hinged, an extremely fine gem that is certainly the finest #471 we have ever offered; 2001 PF certificate, as well as 2000 and 2008 PSE certificates (the latter graded XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; SMQ $1,550.00 as 95 and $4,800.00 as
98); the only example to have been awarded this impressive grade and "Jumbo" designation, with only four grading slightly higher (98), but these do not sport the enormous margins this exciting stamp possesses.
