Three 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.

1c Panama-Pacific, Perf 10 (401). Mint N.H., deep rich color on bright paper, perfectly centered with wide margins
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS GORGEOUS STAMP IS GRADED GEM 100 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED AND THE ONLY EXAMPLE TO ACHIEVE IT.
Ex "Hanover". With 2012 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100; SMQ $1,350.00 is hopelessly low). This is the highest grade awarded and the only example to achieve this grade. The SMQ value is absurdly low -- a mere $400 more than a 98, of which there are 11 recorded examples
1c Panama-Pacific, Perf 10 (401). Mint N.H., deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, gorgeous centering with wide and balanced margins, Extremely Fine Gem, a stunning stamp, with 2011 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $900.00), only two grade higher (one at 98J, one at 100), this is significantly underpriced in SMQ in our opinion
