Saturday Dec 06, 2014 10:00 America/New_York

1863, 2¢ black (Scott 73), o.g., hinged, attractive well margined example with alluring rich color, as this stamp has near perfect centering, it seems the accompanying PSE certificate did this stamp no favors by only grading it a "90", as this issue is rarely found so nice, Extremely Fine, 2007 P.S.E. certificate graded XF-90 (1 of only 5 examples achieving this desirable grade, with a mere 5 others currently grading higher).
SMQ $1,200 in the grade of XF-90.
Scott $375.
Estimate $1,000 - 1,500.
