Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
1021 og 29 image#29, 5c Brown, Ty. I, a very fresh example of this terribly difficult and seldom offered mint stamp, featuring rich luxuriant color and impression on bright paper, centered just a bit to top, but far better centered than most mint copies we have seen, full clean o.g., lightly hinged, certainly very fine for this; the first sound, full original gum example we have offered in our auctions in years; 1989 PF certificate. (Image) $2,750.00

SOLD for $2,800.00
Closing..Jul-15, 04:00 PM
1022 og 30 image#30, 5c Orange brown, Ty. II, brilliantly fresh, sumptuously rich color and a deeply etched impression, quite well centered, full o.g., very fine; a handsome mint example; 1986 PF certificate. (Image) $1,250.00

SOLD for $1,000.00
Closing..Jul-15, 04:00 PM
1023 og 30A image#30A, 5c Brown, Ty. II, extraordinarily well centered, with perfectly balanced margins top to bottom and side to side with unusually wide margins, deep shade and a well defined impression, virtually full o.g., extremely fine; 1997 PF certificate. (Image) $2,100.00

SOLD for $2,100.00
Closing..Jul-15, 04:00 PM
1024 og 31 image#31, 10c Green, Ty. I, position 100R1, an incomparable bottom sheet-margin mint single, possessing essentially perfect centering amid uncharacteristically large margins, brilliantly fresh, with rich vibrant color and a clean crisp impression on bright paper, uniformly even and intact perforations all around, full original gum, lightly hinged, superb. The enormous rarity of the 1857 Ten Cent Green Type I in mint condition, particularly with original gum, cannot be overstated. To find one offered at auction in any condition happens probably no more than one or twice a year (if that "frequent"). To find one in the spectacular quality offered here is an occasion that easily qualifies as a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. In fact, this is only the second appearance at auction of this extraordinary stamp, as for years it had always been part of a larger multiple that was (only fairly recently) broken up to yield what is, without question, the finest mint Scott #31 in existence. This stamp made its first appearance on the auction market as a single in our September 13, 2002 auction of the Thomas C. McKinney collection. It was acquired by Mr. Lewis for his collection after considerable bidding competition, ultimately realizing a record price of $38,500.00. We fully expect that its appearance now will again engender spirited bidding, resulting in another impressive realization. In our view, this is one of the key stamps to acquire if one ever hopes to fulfill the goal of acquiring the finest known mint example of each United States stamp. Accompanied by a 2000 PF certificate. (Image) $20,000.00

SOLD for $57,500.00
Closing..Jul-15, 04:00 PM

SOLD for $230.00
Closing..Jul-15, 04:00 PM
1026 og 36b image#36b, 12c Black, plate III, an incredibly choice mint single of this notoriously difficult and challenging stamp to find in any kind of collectible quality, possessing a remarkable overall freshness and brilliance unlike any other we have encountered, eye-arresting intense color and impression, outstanding centering, pristine full o.g. which shows just the barest trace of hinging, extremely fine; a highly desirable original gum example; 1983 PF certificate. (Image) $800.00

SOLD for $1,500.00
