#235, 6c Columbian, absolutely perfect centering within incredibly large margins, rich luxuriant color and a sharp impression, light Indianapolis oval cancel, a
superb gem in every regard.If one could imagine the features needed to make the "perfect" used Columbian, they would be mathematically precise centering, huge margins, beautiful color, even perforations and a light town cancel - all of the traits
this stamp possesses. That all of these marvelous attributes would converge on a single Six Cent value, which is widely regarded as the most difficult value to find in gem quality, is truly amazing. The PSE also concurs with this stamp's perfect
status, assigning it the highest grade possible - Gem 100 Jumbo. No other used Columbian has graded higher than 98J. In fact, there are only two mint Columbians to grade 100J, both of which were offered in our September 2008 sale of the Westchester
Collection, where they each sold for in excess of $50,000.00.A stamp that has no equal, being the finest quality used copy of any Columbian value we have ever seen. Accompanied by a 2009 PSE certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo; SMQ $860.00 for a mere 98,
which is totally irrelevant on this spectacular stamp); this is the only used stamp in the entire Columbian series to receive a grade of 100, whether Jumbo or not. (Image) |
