#267, 2c Carmine, Ty. III, mathematically perfect centering within uncharacteristically large margins, absolutely stunning color that could not be more deep and iridescent, immaculate o.g., n.h., a superb gem.[cr][lf][cr][lf]The relatively common stamp presented here is in anything but ""common"" condition. This stamp is perfection personified. It could not posess more precise centering or have color that is more intense. It is not hard to understand why this stamp was awarded a Gem 100 grade by the PSE - the ultimate grade for any stamp.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by a 2007 PSE certificate (Gem 100; SMQ $1,100.00 as 98, the highest grade they price); not only is this the highest grade given to this stamp, there are only four other stamps in the entire Bureau watermarked series to achieve the grade of Gem 100.[cr][lf][cr] Estimate US$ 3,500-4,000
