#O80, 24 cent Treasury, VF-XF, sound,
immaculate perforations with face-free cancellation. A gem stamp,
rarely found this nice. 2008 PFC, graded VF 80, which I
believe misstates the centering of this stamp. The 24 cent
Treasury is notorious for poor margins and centering because of the
large size of its die relative to other official stamps. (See:
Campbell, Alan, "The Quest for Perfection: Observations on Grading
and on Perforating the Official Stamps," The Chronicle of the
U.S. Classic Postal Issues, November 2007.) |
