1903, 50¢ orange (310), near perfect centering within large margins, brilliant color on equally bright paper, strong impression, fresh never hinged original gum, Extremely Fine. SMQ $8,750.
Scott $1,250
A SUPERB 50¢ 1902 ISSUE, BEING ONE OF SEVEN GRADED 95 OR 95J WITH NONE GRADED HIGHER.
Expertization: 1998 PF and 2004 PSE Certificates, the latter graded XF-Sup 95.
Provenance: "Westchester"
This is an exceptional stamp and one we believe would be difficult to improve upon. Given its complete lack of distractions (nibbed perforations, inclusions and other such issues) we feel a higher grade would be in order.
