AN AMAZING GEM, THE ONLY EXAMPLE CERTIFIED BY THE P.F. AS NEVER HINGED AND WITH FULL MARGINS, GREAT COLOR AND NO FAULTS OR DISTRACTIONS. THE PREVIOUS TIME THIS WAS FOR SALE (A 2004 AUCTION), THE DESCRIBER STATED "ARGUABLY THE FINEST MINT SINGLE IN EXISTENCE IN TERMS OF OVERALL QUALITY". WE COMPLETELY AGREE.
Expertization: 2003 P.F. Certificate.
One other example was certified by the PF as "Genuine", which only implied NH.
