NEVER HINGED EXAMPLES ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND ARE PARTICULARLY RARE IN PREMIUM QUALITY SUCH AS THIS.
Expertization: photocopy of 1988 P.F. Certificate for the block from which it was taken.
We estimate that there are only about ½ dozen examples of this very scarce value that are well centered and never hinged. The present example is in the finest obtainable quality.
