Lot: 34

#188, 10c Brown, with secret mark, a phenomenal unused example which possesses absolutely the most gigantic jumbo margins imaginable, and just as impressive is the fact that it is perfectly centered within these incredible borders, wonderfully fresh and bright, with rich color and a detailed impression, superb; we doubt a larger margined #188 exists either mint, unused or used, in fact we are quite certain that this ranks as one of the largest Bank Notes, of any denomination or printing, in existence; typically the collector who assembled the ""Westchester"" Collection did not buy stamps without gum, however his goal was always to try to acquire the most spectacular example possible for a particular Scott number, once seeing this stamp he had to obtain it, as it is truly the best he has ever seen; 1999 PSE certific Estimate US$ 1,250-1,500
