Fr. 1274SP 15c Third Issue Wide Margin Pair
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 & PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ    

---

Bright, perfectly centered and with boldly contrasted inks upon snowy white background. The hand-signed face specimen with both Colby and Spinner autographs is a screaming Gem, without the ink erosion that so often accompanies Spinner's autograph. The more desirable red back would easily grade superb if the left to right centering were a little more even. Green Sheet asking price on this gem pair is roughly $2,300, a figure that would not surprise us at all once the hammer falls.
