#289, 8c Trans-Mississippi, bottom sheet-margin imprint single, incredibly well centered within uncharacteristically large margins, magnificently deep rich color and a superbly detailed impression on brilliantly fresh paper, o.g., n.h., an extremely fine gem.[cr][lf][cr][lf]A sensational bottom sheet-margin imprint single that is another great condition rarity, as this stamp features physical qualities that are next to impossible to find on this notoriously difficult value from the series, including mathematically precise centering amid enormous jumbo margins for the 8c value, with eye-arresting dark violet brown color and a razor-sharp impression and, of course, being never hinged. This is, without question, one of the very finest Eight Cent Trans-Mississippis we have ever seen.[cr][lf][cr][lf]Accompanied by 2005 and 2006 PF certificates (the latter graded XF-Superb 95; SMQ $9,000.00). Estimate US$ 6,000-7,000
