Superb is in the eye of the beholder. Probably referring to the color. The centering is certainly not superb as it's low and to the right.

Randy,

it will be a long time before you can find one as good as that mnh.

The problem is that the seller has listed it as s.g 218 which is the Multiple Stars upright watermark which cats. at 80 Pounds but the inverted watermark s.g. 218w only cats at half that.

If it is upright watermark then it is a good price for that quality, if inverede then it is too expensive,

Not superb centering, and I wouldn't call a stamp Superb that has dirt/dust/discoloration along the top and right edges.

If the dirt is from the mount used in scanning, at least mention that.

Matt,

I can't see any dirt marks.

Any KGV India over 10r. are extremely difficult to find even hinged, mnh. is only when blocks are broken up and that is very rarely.

If that is upright watermark and with today's prices for India that is a bargain, I wouldn't be surprised if it doubled or tripled in cat within a few years,

David - In the white areas along top and right.

But it is a beautiful stamp.

Matt,

stil can't see any problems with dust marks. Possibly the watermark is showing through in parts of the margins,

I see that it has been sold,
