Bremen #15 - needs a cert?

Here's the perfect follow-up to yesterday's post ... the very next stamp in the catalog.  Bremen #15.

Germany Bremen #15 used – the classic 5-silbergroschen key design. 2021 catalog value $3750.00.

A user posted some feedback about it: "This item looks to be yellow green. Also, the right edge has been trimmed and reperfed. I would suggest to have this item certified."

Eagle eyes.  I would have to agree on the color, but I don't have specialist catalogs for this.  Well, I do have an old Michel specialized catalog, but the choice remains: post a generic Scott value that's up to date, or a more specific identification with a prices that's 25 years old.  As for the reperfed right else, it does look like the perfs are a bit too clean and shaped a bit differently.

I'm not sure the reason we would pay $20 or $30 (or whatever it costs these days) to get a certificate that points out damage I didn't see when I looked at it.  I agree that these high-priced stamps should have the most detailed information available.  Maybe I could spend $25+ for the certificate and eventually (years down the road?) get $99 for this one?  On the other hand, it won't sell at all as listed.  Or it will sell and be returned.

In any case, I have removed it from the HipStamp store for further analysis.

I appreciate when sharp-eyed collectors post comments and observations about the items I list.  I can't catch everything every time, and sometimes they are right.  Sometimes I end up agreeing with my original assessment, but as long as it's a calm discussion, it's fine.  We never stop learning.
