#63, 1c Blue, fabulously well centered within huge perfectly balanced margins, gorgeous bright color and an incredibly detailed impression on brilliantly fresh paper, fully intact perforations surround the whole, especially clean full o.g., lightly hinged, superb.[cr][lf][cr][lf]A truly rare stamp in this incomparable gem condition. The One Cent value from the 1861-66 Issues are invariably found very tightly margined and almost never well centered. That is what makes this stamp so special, in addition to its superlative overall freshness.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by a 1988 PF certificate, as well as a 2008 PSE certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $2,800.00); the highest grade awarded to any example of Scott #63, and the sole example to have been given this impressive grade. Estimate US$ 3,000-3,500
