Price History for US Scott 330 in OGnh 95 Grade
Show Grade on Graph
Show all gradesThree things to keep in mind when looking at the above results (unsolds are not included):
- It is important to look at the individual data points listed below. Price swings up may be due to varieties such as broken hat or other positives such as cancels. Price swings down may be due to factors such as faults on items that would have graded higher if they were sound, and may not be considered as desirable as a sound copy in this grade.
- When looking at multiple grades on the graph, grades with the same population numbers may show overlapping.
- At the time of an auction, the SMQ value has already been published and is available to bidders. Increases or decreases in SMQ value prior to the auction may affect the price realized.

5c Jamestown (330). Mint N.H., perfectly centered with Jumbo margins, deep rich color on post-office fresh paperEXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT JAMESTOWN ISSUE WHICH IS GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADED 5-CENT JAMESTOWN AND HAS NO EQUALS IN THE POPULATION REPORT.
The Jamestown Issue is notorious for its tight spacing and narrow margins, which causes most copies to be off-center to some degree. High grades are extremely difficult to obtain on this issue in any denomination. For example, only one 1c has graded 98J and none have graded 100. The 2c offered in the previous lot is the only example graded 100. The 5c offered here stands alone at 98J, with none graded higher.
With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $13,500.00 is far too low -- this unique "highest and only" of this top denomination of the series realized $35,000 hammer in 2008). This is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by no others. Scott Retail $290.00
