THIS STAMP HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E., WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE. We acknowledge the past existence of original-gum 12c F Grill multiples, which in recent years have been broken to furnish choice singles. However, the quality of this particular stamp -- its centering and margins, shade and overall freshness -- qualify it as one of the finest in existence. With 2011 P.S.E. certificate (OGh, XF-Superb 95, SMQ $17,600.00). This is the highest grade awarded to date and only three others share this grade.
