Is This A Scott 63 Dark Blue???

Not surprised with the outcome but a PSE cert? Yuck. A PF cert would make me feel better but it isn't lost on me that it is neither my cover or my money.

Excellent!! I'm sure that is more satisfying than all the guessing we might have done with online pics. Now you can be sure.

Love to see success stories...congrats! Ray

Thanks Ray. Yesterday was a bleak day as I had to return to an ebay seller a Sc #242 and 243 I had high hopes for but discovered upon their delivery they had been regummed and reperfed. Today is a whole new day and brought that occasional small triumph we all have in stamp collecting. Besides discovering the 63 was a 63b, a Sc #26 $10 purchase yesterday, after closer scrutiny, appears to be an 87R15 double transfer and a small gamble on a 634 plate block turned out to be a 634b carmine-lake block. Who knows what tomorrow may bring.

Oh, and sorry Don about the PSE thing. It was only my first foray into the 'certifying' world and had I read some later posts by you, and others, I would likely have gone the PF route.
