2c Numeral in Blue w/"Inter Island" NG, Sc 17

CONDITION: Plate 5-B, Type II, Pos. 2, three huge margins to full at bottom, intense color on bright white paper, 2008 PF notes a faint diagonal crease at bottom right which we cannot find after multiple times in fluid. In our opinion, this is a Completely Sound stamp GRADE: Extremely Fine CERTIFICATES: 1975 and 2008 PF, former stating simply "it is genuine" COMMENTS: Purchased by the collector at Siegel sale 466 on Feb. 20, 1975 (lot 516; half page of auction catalogue accompanies). The description notes tiny filled thins and a trivial corner crease. In spite of this inaccurate description, it realized $2,500 against a catalogue value of $2,250. The stamp really ranks among the finest known examples of this rare Numeral issue. Scott Catalogue: $12,000
