#365, 13c Blue green on bluish paper, flawlessly centered amid lavishly large margins which are almost unheard of on this scarce and challenging stamp, sumptuously rich color and a razor-sharp impression on brilliantly fresh paper, especially clean o.g. with just the barest trace of hinging, an extremely fine gem in every regard.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Gem quality Bluish Papers, such as the one offered here are true condition rarities, no matter which denomination is involved. However, there are certain values like the Five Cent and the Thirteen Cent, which are especially elusive to find in premium condition. Never before have we encountered a Thirteen Cent value that is this stamp´s equal. Its margins are incredibly wide and its centering is extraordinary. That is why we are confident in stating that this is one of the very finest original gum Thirteen Cent Bluish Papers in existence.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by 1988 and 1999 PF certificates, as well as a 2006 PSE certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $6,950.00); this is the highest grade awarded to any Scott #365. Estimate US$ 6,500-7,500
