Fr. 1288 25c Second Issue Top Pop
Grade: PCGS Gem New 65 PPQ

An astounding example of this sleeper variety with the "2" and "18-63" surcharges on the back. The bronze oval is perfectly centered around the portrait and the back colors are divine. We can't recall having ever seen a graded example better than this one which is supported by the PCGS Pop Report; of the 20 examples they have graded this is the only one graded Gem with none better. The last one we had that was comparable was a raw note we graded Gem a year ago and that brought a total of $546.25. This example, with its combination of rarity and quality, should shoot to the moon before it lands in someone's collection.
