#185, 5c Blue, a visually striking used example that we feel confident in saying is the finest used Five Cent Blue American Bank Note extant, as it possesses
every physical characteristic that one could possible hope for, including magnificent centering within gigantic margins all around, plus its color is wonderfully rich and bright on fresh paper, a gorgeous red, crossroads cancel further
contributes to the stamp's exalted status, a superb and truly spectacular gem; 2005 PSE certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $960.00 for a "normal" 98); not only is this the highest grade the PSE has ever given to a used #185, it is the sole example
to achieve this impressive grade. (Image) |
