Price History for US Scott C15 in OGnh 85 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.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS STAMP, GIVEN THE ULTIMATE GRADE OF 100 JUMBO BY PROFESSIONAL STAMP EXPERTS, IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF PERFECTION. THE KEYSTONE OF THE FINEST SET OF 1930 ZEPPELIN ISSUES POSSIBLE.
Collectors driven to pursue perfection will regard this stamp as the last and only $2.60 Graf Zeppelin they will ever need. This is the only example of the $2.60 Graf Zeppelin certified as Gem 100 Jumbo. The next-highest grade of the 146 graded copies is Superb 98. Not a single Superb 98 Jumbo or Gem 100 stamp has been graded, so there are two full grading categories between this stamp and the next-highest grade.
With 2003 P.F. certificate. With 2004 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo; SMQ does not price this grade, the highest grade they price is 98, which catalogues $7,250.00).
