EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE $1.00 PARCEL POST ISSUE, GRADED SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E.

According to Johl and Gobie, the $1.00 Parcel Post stamp originally had the manufacturing design ultimately used for the 25c stamp. This fruit growing scene is from a photograph provided by the Department of Agriculture of a grove in Florida.

With 2010 and 2021 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98). Only three Mint N.H. stamps grade higher in the P.S.E. Population Report (two at 98J and one at 100 which we have never offered). Only five others share this desirable grade.
