#257, 8c Violet brown, an eye-arresting left sheet-margin mint single, being extraordinarily well centered amid gigantic jumbo margins all around, sumptuously rich color and a deeply etched impression on bright paper, pristine o.g., n.h., an extremely fine gem.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Unwatermarked Bureau issues are almost never found with large margins, let alone margins of this spectacular width. We have never encountered a larger-margined example of the Eight Cent value than the one offered here. This easily qualifies as a true condition rarity.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by a 2000 PF certificate. Estimate US$ 3,000-3,500
