#539, 2c Carmine rose coil waste, Ty. II, perf. 11x10, brilliantly fresh mint single, in a true "post office" state, rich luxuriant color and a crisp detailed impression on immaculate paper, while centered just a bit to top right, this is actually much better centered than typically encountered on this notoriously poorly centered stamp, pristine o.g., never hinged, very fine for this; photocopy of a 1989 PSE certificate for a block of four, this being the bottom left stamp.

594

#594, 1c Green coil waste, a very fresh and attractive used example of one of the most difficult stamps of the 20th century, especially when it is considered that fewer than 100 examples of this stamp have been confirmed, being among the small minority that exists completely without faults, especially fresh and bright color, very lightly and unobtrusively cancelled, fine; a stamp that is missing in even the most advanced United States collections; 1974 PF certificate.

613

#613, 2c Harding, rotary press perforated 11, exceptionally well centered for this, particularly when compared to other existing examples, with its perforations well clear of the design all around (a rare occurrence), strong rich color and an unusually clean impression on bright paper, very light and unobtrusive machine postmark, small corner crease at bottom right that certainly does not affect this stamp's exceptional very fine appearance.The Two Cent Harding rotary press perforated 11 stamp is one of the most sought-after rarities in United States philately. There are 39 confirmed singles and two pairs known - all of which are used. More than half of the existing population are found with its perforations touching or cutting the design. The example offered here from Mr. McCree's collection is among the better centered examples available, and certainly one of the most lightly cancelled. A highly desirable and eye-appealing example of this important rarity. Accompanied by a 1993 PF certificate. (Image)
