EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1879 2-CENT AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE, IN THE FINEST CONDITION ATTAINABLE. WE HAVE NEVER SEEN ITS EQUAL. THIS REMARKABLE STAMP HAS BEEN BESTOWED WITH THE GRADE OF 95 JUMBO BY P.S.E.

With 1996 and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo, SMQ $3,450.00 as 95, unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 95). This is the only example to achieve this grade, which is the highest awarded to date. We offered one graded 95 in the Scarsdale Collection, which realized $3,000 hammer.

EXTREMELY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1879 6-CENT AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST MINT NEVER-HINGED SINGLE WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS FOURTEEN YEARS AGO. A GREAT CONDITION RARITY

The only other Mint N.H. examples we have offered were in a block of nine with Fine-Very Fine centering. This is the first Mint N.H. single we have offered, and is far superior to any in the block.

With 1996 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90, SMQ $9,700.00). This is the first and only Mint N.H. example certified by P.S.E., although the SMQ prices a 90 at $9,700 and 95 at $21,700 (on what basis we do not know). (Image Magnifier)

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIUL LIGHTLY-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 10-CENT 1879 AMERICAN BANK NOTE COMPANY ISSUE WITHOUT SECRET MARK.

Scott 187 without secret mark is significantly more difficult than Scott 188 to find in such superb condition. Collectors waiting for a Mint N.H. example may have a long wait -- we have not offered one since keeping computerized records.
