Of these, most have faults, including one with margin significantly in at bottom, and a horizontal strip of four with a heavy crease. With 1994 and 2006 P.F. certificates. Scott pricing note states: "Nos. 9X1-9X3 and varieties unused are valued without gum. Examples with original gum are extremely scarce and will command higher prices." (Image Magnifier) |
