83 og 41 image#41, 3c Scarlet reprint, without gum as issued, an especially handsome and choice example of this reprint rarity, possessing far better centering than typically encountered, plus its color is especially rich and intense, crisp detailed impression on bright paper, extremely fine for this value, of which only 479 were issued; 1997 PF certificate.

87 og 43 image#43, 10c Blue green reprint, without gum as issued, incredibly well centered and margined for this always difficult value, with its perforations nearly clearing the design all around (a very rare occurrence), sumptuously rich color and a razor-sharp impression on bright paper, unusually intact perforations, extremely fine; few of the 516 issued of this value are found in this gem quality.

SOLD for $2,200.00

91 og 45 image#45, 24c Blackish violet reprint, without gum as issued, an extraordinarily choice example of this value, possessing exceptional centering within large margins, the margins at sides are particularly wide (so wide, in fact, that a large portion of the imprint appears at right), even its color and impression are out of the ordinary, being truly prooflike on bright fresh paper, extremely fine; among the finest available of the 479 issued; 1976 PF certificate. (Image) 3,250.00

SOLD for $2,500.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM

Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
93 og 46 image#46, 30c Yellow orange reprint, without gum as issued, an incredibly select example of this reprint rarity, possessing outstanding centering amid extravagantly large margins which are most uncharacteristic, with its perforations clearing the design all around which, in our opinion, occurs on probably less than 10% of the 480 issued, radiantly rich color, extremely fine; a handsome stamp; 1974 and 1989 PF certificates. (Image) 3,250.00

SOLD for $3,250.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM

Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
95 og 47 image#47, 90c Deep blue reprint, without gum as issued, well centered, strikingly intense color and an excellent clarity of impression on bright crisp paper, unusually even and intact perforations, very fine; an especially rare stamp in such choice condition; only 454 issued. (Image) 4,500.00

SOLD for $3,500.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
96 og 47 image#47, 90c Deep blue reprint, without gum as issued, quite well centered, deep luxuriant color and impression on bright paper, expertly reperforated at right (original 1992 certificate not noting reperforation), light manuscript notation on reverse noting stamp as a reprint, very fine appearance; 1992 and 1997 PF certificates (the latter describing the reperforation at right).

1861 First Design "August" Issues
Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
97 og 55 image#55, 1c Indigo "August", full clean original gum, lightly hinged, fabulously fresh and crisp, with intense characteristic "August" color, extraordinarily well centered, especially when compared to other known examples, as most are found more strongly centered to the top, single slightly nibbed perforation at bottom mentioned for accuracy only, very fine and wonderfully choice. It is believed that a total of 24 copies exist of the One Cent First Design or so-called "August" Issue. Of this total, two are cancelled and another is housed in the New York Public Library collection, leaving only 21 uncancelled copies available to collectors. More than half of the available examples are found either with faults, without gum, or both. In fact, there are only eight that exist which are sound and still retain their original gum, with the Lessin example being among this elite group. An exciting opportunity to acquire a premium quality original gum example of one of the rarest stamps in United States philately. Accompanied by a 1989 PF certificate. (Image) 20,000.00

SOLD for $18,500.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
98 og 56 image#56, 3c Brown rose "August", brilliantly fresh, gorgeous rich color, well centered within uncommonly large margins, full clean o.g., lightly hinged, very fine and choice; 1977 and 2001 PF certificates. (Image) 475.00

SOLD for $550.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
99 og 56 image#56, 3c Brown rose "August", quite well centered within much larger margins than usual, rich color, large part o.g., diagonal crease, very fine appearance. (Image) 475.00

SOLD for $110.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
100 og 57 image#57, 5c Brown "August", a wonderfully fresh original gum example of this challenging and important rarity, featuring sumptuously rich and intense color, plus its impression is razor-sharp on crisp paper, rather well centered, redistributed o.g., single perforation tip added at top left, accompanying certificate also states "small stains removed" which we find so minor that it is almost impossible to detect, otherwise very fine; only 35 examples of the Five Cent "August" issue are known (two of which are cancelled) and only 16 of the existing population still retain any portion of their original gum; this value is notorious for being found with varying degrees of faults, in fact, none of the recorded original gum examples are completely sound; a highly collectable example of this extremely rare stamp; 1998 PF certificate. (Image) 14,000.00

SOLD for $9,500.00
Closing..May-31, 03:30 PM
