15c Deep Orange, Special Delivery (E13). Mint N.H., Jumbo margins and exceptionally choice centering, vivid color on post-office fresh paper, Extremely Fine Gem, with 1994 and 2001 P.F. certificates, with 2006 and 2019 P.S.E. certificates (Superb 98 Jumbo), this is the highest grade awarded in the P.S.E. Population Report and only four others share it, we are surprised that none have graded Gem 100 considering there are 100s for a number of the earlier and scarcer Special Delivery issues, very underpriced in SMQ at $550, this is the only example in this grade we have offered and it brought $1,700 hammer in 2019
