1373 O RB10a image#RB10a, $5.00 Green and black on violet paper, an extraordinary quality used example of this popular and incredibly handsome revenue rarity, being in a condition that is almost impossible to find on this oversized stamp, as most known copies have numerous faults such as thins and creases, this exceptional copy is completely devoid of these common maladies, additionally it is marvelously well centered within large margins, strong rich colors, neat manuscript cancel dated 1879, a tiny spot at right is the only thing separating this stamp from perfection (and is not even mentioned on the accompanying certificate), extremely fine; of the mere 74 issued of the Five Dollar Proprietary stamps on violet paper, this ranks among the finest quality examples available; clear 1977 PF certificate.

Proprietary Inverted Centers
Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
1375 O RB1ad image#RB1ad, 1c Green and black on violet paper, Inverted Center, a used example of this rare inverted center error, possessing strong rich colors and having been cancelled with a black handstamp, centered just into perfs. at right, couple of small thin spots, about fine for this; Larry Lyons, in his unpublished 2000 census, records 23 examples of this invert, 11 of which have been certified, and the majority are centered rather poorly and have faults ranging from minor to severe.

1376 O RB2ac image#RB2ac, 2c Green and black on violet paper, Inverted Center, blue handstamp cancel, deep colors, centered just a bit to right, accompanying certificate mentions a thin spot at bottom right and a repair at top left (the latter is terribly insignificant), fine for this. The example of this Inverted Center on violet paper is one of only two in existence. The other was sold by this firm in our January 2000 sale of the Larry Lyons collection. The Lyons copy had a horizontal crease and a thin spot. It was acquired in the auction by a dealer for $22,000.00, who subsequently sold it after the auction to a collector. Therefore, this is now the only example available to collectors, as the Lyons copy is tied up in a major collection, presumably not to be sold for many years. Unquestionably one of the highlights of the entire Ballman collection. Literally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire not only one of the great rarities of United States revenues, but also one of the great philatelic treasures of the world. An essential stamp for either the collector with the hope of completing a collection of United States revenues or for the specialist in Inverted Centers of the world. Accompanied by a 1993 PF certificate. (Image) 40,000.00
