EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT PERF 11 DOUBLE-LINE WATERMARK ISSUE, SCOTT 519, GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E. — THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

With 2012 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95). This is the highest grade awarded and it is shared by only one other — the ex "Natalee Grace" copy we first offered in 2012. However, that stamp has developed some slight fading from the long-ago removal of toning, so if it were re-graded, it is doubtful it would still be a 95.

Scott value $1,800.
