Detailed Analysis for Scott #762

Centering (Grade: 87)
The stamp is slightly off-center in one or two directions at first glance but unquestionably better centered than most examples.
Centering falls into the "Very Fine-Extremely Fine (VF-XF)" category (85-89).

Soundness (Grade: Faultless)
The stamp is faultless with no gum as issued (NGAI). The lack of gum is not considered a fault for this issue, so no points are deducted for soundness.

Eye Appeal (Grade: Excellent)
The stamp's design is crisp and clear, with vibrant ink and no discoloration. This further supports the higher grade, as there are no visible flaws that detract from its presentation.

Perforations
This stamp does not have perforations as it is an imperforate issue. The edges are clean and sharp.

Final Grade Calculation
Base Grade: Start with the centering grade of 87.

No deductions for eye appeal (excellent condition).
No further adjustments necessary.
Final Grade: 87 (Very Fine-Extremely Fine, VF-XF).
