$1.00 Violet Black (478). Mint N.H., outstanding centering with wide and well-balanced margins, deep rich color on bright paper
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 1916 $1.00 PERF 10 UNWATERMARKED ISSUE, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.
This stamp was used for less than six months before the Perf 11 stamps were produced. Due to its short production run and the only difference between this and the previous $1.00 issue (Scott 460) being the watermark, many collectors and dealers of the day overlooked this issue. It is especially scarce with such perfect centering.
With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95). Only two grade higher (both at 98).
