2147		1c Blue, Ty. V (24). Position 95R7 from the bottom row, Jumbo perfectly balanced margins, bright color and sharp Plate 7 impression on crisp paper, light strike of circular datestamp EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PERFORATED TYPE V. THIS IS THE WIDEST-MARGINED EXAMPLE WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. Wide side margins are the norm for 1c Type V stamps printed from Plates 5 and 7 to 10, but the enormous and balanced top and bottom margins on this example are extremely unusual. The stamp was printed from Plate 7, one of the first of the Type V plates and one that produced sharp clear impressions. A few bottom-row stamps from Plates 5 and 7 show wide-spaced horizontal perforations, comparable to the wide-spaced stamps from Plate 4. With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo, SMQ $435.00 as 95, $1,400.00 as 98). This is the highest grade awarded to date and is shared by only two others. We frankly believe this is under-graded. In our opinion the grade should be Superb 98 Jumbo, if not Gem 100 Jumbo. Accompanied by the cover from which the stamp originated (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com	40.00 SOLD for $3,750.00 Will close during Public Auction
