EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE III, WHICH IS GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.

Due to the narrow vertical spacing on this plate, stamps are most typically found with the perforations impinging on a portion of the design. The example offered here is centered so that the type characteristics are clearly visible -- with clear breaks at top and bottom.

With 2018 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $9,750.00). None have graded higher and only four others share this grade
