Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
866		5c Orange Brown, Double Transfer Ty. C (1b-C). Large to huge margins, exceptionally strong color, neat red grid cancel, tiny thin speck shows only in fluid EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 5-CENT 1847 WITH THE TYPE C DOUBLE TRANSFER. In the August 1995 Chronicle, Jerome S. Wagshal summarized previous articles on this double transfer. It was first discovered by Dan Hammatt around 1920. Mr. Wagshal recorded a total of 13-1/2 copies (one is a half-stamp in a strip), including two pairs. He also echoes Ashbrook's theory that this and the Double Transfer Type D were created when the plate was reworked sometime in late 1850 and were only part of the Fifth Delivery from RWH&E in December 1850. This would account for their scarcity compared to the Type A and B double transfers, and it seems to be confirmed by the two examples known on cover, which were described by Ashbrook as 1851 uses. The distinctive Orange Brown shade also points to the Fifth Delivery. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com	$ 4,000.00 SOLD for $4,625.00 Will close during Public Auction
