1c Dark Yellow Green, Trans-Mississippi (285). Mint N.H., detailed impression, phenomenal centering with wide margins
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS MAGNIFICENT MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT TRANS-MISSISSIPPI IS GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E. — ONLY ONE GRADES HIGHER AND NONE SHARE THIS DESIRABLE GRADE.
The 1c Trans-Mississippi is surprisingly difficult to obtain in the highest grades. For Mint N.H., there is just the example offered here at 98J plus one one graded Gem 100 Jumbo (last offered by us in our 2012 Merlin auction). This is a rare opportunity to acquire a common stamp in uncommon condition.
With 2012 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo).
