A BREATHTAKING MINT SINGLE THAT WE FEEL WE CAN UNEQUIVOCALLY STATE IS THE FINEST EXTANT- IT IS THE HIGHEST GRADED TO DATE BY THE PSE AND THE SOLE EXAMPLE IN THIS GRADE.
Expertization: 2006 PSE Certificate graded Superb 98J.
Provenance: "Westchester"
If one could design the perfect 6¢ Columbian, one could not possibly produce a finer example than the printing division of the American Bank Note Company has done for us. Centering that could not be improved upon, margins and color that would be the envy of any proof and all neatly framed in by the corner selvage. A condition rarity of the highest order and a probable contender for the finest stamp of the Golden State Collection.
