S.G. #2 |
 S.G. #2, 1840 1p Black, lettered F-L, a
marvelously fresh and choice mint example of this classic, with intense
color and impression on uncommonly bright paper, large to very large
margins all around, o.g., minor h.r., extremely fine; a stamp which is
seldom seen mint and is especially elusive in such premium condition (Scott
#1; $3,000.00). (Image) |

small corner crease at top right does not affect its nearly very fine
appearance; 1989 Brandon certificate (Scott #2; $5,750.00). (Image) |

S.G. #43, 44 |
S.G. #43, 44, 1859-79 1p Rose red and 1p Lake red, nearly complete mint
singles plating, consisting of 147 out of a possible 152 plate numbers,
naturally missing the plate 77 rarity, plus plates 88, 133, 142 and 153,
but does include the very scarce plate 225 (appears unused and with small
faults), vast majority have o.g., although some are unused, typical plating
quality, but there are many nice stamps as well, overall a fine and
difficult group to assemble (Scott #33). |
