#105, 5c Brown re-issue, absolutely perfect centering amid enormous jumbo margins, rich luxuriant color and a deeply etched impression on bright paper, full o.g., lightly hinged, superb.[cr][lf][cr][lf]This incomparable gem possesses fabulous overall eye-appeal, in addition to boasting physical qualities that are simply not possible to improve upon. Of the 672 sold of this value, we cannot imagine a finer copy exists.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by a 1989 PF certificate and a 2007 PSE certificate (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $14,400.00) - we do respectfully question why this stamp was not deserving of a ""Jumbo"" designation, as we have never encountered a copy with more immense margins than this; one of only seven copies to have been assigned a 95 grade, with only one grading slightly higher (95J) and we cannot fathom it boasts margins larger than this one does; ex-Floyd.[cr] Estimate US$ 11,000-13,000
