10c Gray Violet, Trans-Mississippi (290). Mint N.H., lovely crisp impression showing every detail of the engraving, precise centering with unusually wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLES OF THE 10-CENT TRANS-MISSISSIPPI ISSUE. THIS IS GRADED SUPERB 98 — THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

With 2007 and 2025 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98). This is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by only six others. We have offered only one of the examples at this grade since 2012, so the opportunity to acquire this at such a high grade is extremely limited.
