#237, 10c Columbian, incredibly well centered within huge jumbo margins which are seldom encountered, gloriously rich color and a razor-sharp impression on immaculate paper, even its perforations are unusually full and intact all around, o.g., n.h., an extremely fine gem in every regard.[cr][lf][cr][lf]The Ten Cent Columbian is another challenging stamp to find both well centered and with sizable margins. The example offered here beautifully combines outstanding centering with the largest margins we have ever seen on a never hinged copy. In fact, the rarity of this combination of exceptional physical attributes is underscored by the fact that this stamp has been graded XF-Superb 95 Jumbo.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by a 2006 PSE certificate (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo; SMQ $3,650.00 as 95 and $14,200.00 as 98); one of only three stamps to have been graded XF-Superb 95 Jumbo, with only three grading higher.[cr][lf][cr][lf] Estimate US$ 3,000-3,500
