Description
A SUPERB NEVER HINGED 15¢ AMERICAN
15c Red Orange (189), centered with mathematical precision amid large, beautifully balanced margins with vibrant color and pristine, never hinged original gum; fresh and choice and absolutely Superb. Scott $1,000.SMQ $11,800
Expertization: 2002 PSE Certificate graded 98
THE CENTERING, COLOR, IMPRESSION, PAPER AND GUM ALL CAME TOGETHER ON THIS SUPERB GEM- ONE OF THREE GRADED 98 BY THE PSE TO DATE, WITH ONLY ONE HIGHER.
The soft paper used by the American Bank Note Company is very prone to damage; the orange color often oxidizes; centering was absolutely not a priority for the production values at the time; a lot can happen to gum in 120 years. The fact that this example survived in this quality is quite a feat indeed.

We had a wonderful time in New York during the October 2013 Historical Manuscripts auction that featured my mother’s papers collected during her tenure as Martin Luther King, Jr.’s secretary. In fact, the entire experience from beginning to end has been a pleasure.View More Testimonials
