    A nice looking stamp but not a top shelf specimen.
    Stamps like this one which have virtually no margins are basically impossible for me to grade objectively. I look at the width of each margin and how uniform/non-uniform they are. In cases like this one I am comparing virtually a no width margin to another no width margin and I am supposed to come up with meaningful grade. If somehow one could add exactly 1mm of margin to four sides of this stamp the slight variations in its margin widths resulting from the already existing margins would result in this stamp being graded either VF or XF.
    All I can say is you have to evaluate the stamp and my asking price and decide if this stamp is compatable with your collection.
