The Elliott H. Coulter Collection of The United States 1869 Pictorial Issue continued...

1869 Inverts
Lot Sym. Lot Description
49 image15c Brown & Blue, Ty. II, Center Inverted (119b). Rich colors and sharp impressions, small cork cancel leaves frame and inverted vignette clearly visible, centered to bottom left but perfs clear frameline, couple tiny corner margin or perf creases

FINE AND ESSENTIALLY SOUND. ONE OF THE HIGHEST-QUALITY USED EXAMPLES OF THE 15-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL INVERT. ONLY 92 COPIES ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.

Our census of 1869 Inverts, published in the February 1999 Chronicle and updated with three new stamps, contains 92 examples of the 15c Invert, including three unused and 89 used (one in the British Library's Tapling collection). Many 15c 1869 Inverts have serious faults or heavy cancels. This lightly-cancelled stamp is certainly among the top 15 used copies.

Census No. 119b-CAN-SW05. With 1981 P.F. certificate (Image)

 15,000.00

SOLD for $26,000.00
Will close during Public Auction
50 image24c Green & Violet, Center Inverted (120b). Rich colors, rosette cancellation, lighter than usual, which allows most of the vignette to be clearly seen

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST OF THE 89 RECORDED USED EXAMPLES OF THE 24-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL INVERT.

Our published 1869 Invert census (with unpublished updates) contains 89 copies of the perforated 24c Invert, including four unused stamps and used multiples. Excluding the unused singles, used block and used pair, there are perhaps 15 sound singles, including five or six with centering comparable to that of the stamp offered here (more than half have perfs into the frame). Only the ex-Moody/Ambassador/Grunin stamp has superior centering.

Census No. 120b-CAN-SC06. With 1955 P.F. certificate. The Scott value is for "fine centered copies with only minimal faults." This sound high-graded stamp should bring substantially over Scott Retail. (Image)

 17,500.00

SOLD for $42,500.00
Will close during Public Auction
51 image30c Ultramarine & Carmine, Center Inverted (121b). Absolutely perfect centering with wide balanced margins all around, sharp and lightly inked strike of Leaf cancel of New York, bright colors on fresh paper, essentially sound, for the sake of total accuracy we must mention tiny faint corner margin creases at top left and bottom left -- so difficult to detect they were described merely as "corner bends" in the Siegel firm's 1966 "Ambassador" sale (realized $8,000 vs. $5,750 Scott value)

EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF THE FINEST-CENTERED AND MOST ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLES OF THE RARE 30-CENT 1869 PICTORIAL INVERT.

Our published census of 30c 1869 Invert (with unpublished updates) contains a total of 44 stamps, including 7 unused and 37 used. Of the ten used "centered" copies (see Chronicle 139), only five are sound or have negligible flaws. This phenomenal stamp -- certainly one of the three or four best-centered in existence -- realized $62,500 in the 1980 Sotheby's sale of the Wunderlich 1869 collection.

Census No. 121b-CAN-C09. Ex Colonel Green and Ambassador. With 1959 P.F. certificate. (Image)

 75,000.00

SOLD for $90,000.00
