#378, 5c Blue, fabulously well centered amid immense jumbo margins, eye-arresting color and impression that would rival any proof, o.g., n.h., superb.[cr][lf][cr][lf]A phenomenal mint example that is sheer perfection, being the beneficiary of the largest margins we have ever seen on this value from the perforated 12 Washington-Franklin series. Contributing further to its overall appeal is its outstanding overall brilliance and freshness.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by a 1991 PF certificate, as well as a 2006 PSE certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo; SMQ $3,200.00 as 98, the highest grade they price); this is the sole never hinged example to have been graded Superb 98 Jumbo by the PSE, with only one grading slightly higher (100) but it does not possess the jumbo margins this stamp boasts; ex-Morris, Killien. Estimate US$ 3,000-3,500
