Grades for stamps that do not have certificates are based solely on the centering, nothing else. I provide high resolution scans for you to examine the stamp in great detail.

I am not an expert in identifying stamps, however, I personally check every perf, watermark, secret mark, etc. on each of these stamps. Please let me know if you find otherwise, I do not want to misrepresent something and will end/revise the listing.
