We commented on how difficult it is to find spectacular never-hinged examples of this issue in our discussion of the 50c value. This is especially true when it comes to the $5.00 denomination. This fact is made abundantly clear when you realize that the highest grade awarded by P.S.E. to a $5.00 value in never-hinged condition is a 90, given to only one stamp.

When this stamp was presented to the Scarsdale collector, the seller was well aware that the collector already owned a Mint N.H. example of Scott 313 (offered in the previous lot). However, the seller had never seen another example with such rich color and wide margins, and he felt that it was so unusual, the collector would make an exception to his never-hinged standard. His instincts were correct, and the stamp has become part of the Scarsdale collection by virtue of its spectacular color and margins.
