FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1902 ONE-CENT BOOKLET. ONLY FOUR ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS WITH THE BOOKLET TAB.

In the course of helping a collector assemble a complete set of used booklet panes, we undertook census work on several, including this issue. We found only four intact panes with the tab, including one with a non-contemporary cancel. There are also two without the tabs. An additional two were certified in the past as genuine but have since been determined to have fake cancels.

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 50-CENT 1902 ISSUE. THIS MARVELOUS STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 JUMBO BY P.S.E., WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED TO DATE.

The 1902-03 Regular Issue was a great improvement over the Bureau's first efforts in 1894 and 1895. Perforations tend to be cleaner, and centering better, but the large plate layout and perforation method still resulted in a large number of poorly centered stamps. Furthermore, stamps issued in choice condition seldom stayed that way, because the boom in stamp collecting that began with the Roosevelt administration caused hordes of hinge-bearing philatelists to mount stamps over and over again. For this reason, today's collectors have grown accustomed to paying many multiples of Scott value for Extremely Fine stamps in Mint Never-Hinged state. Anyone who has pursued this set can testify that the 50c is rarely encountered in such condition. The 50c 1902 offered here probably ranks among the ten highest-quality examples in existence.

With 2008 P.S.E. certificate and also encapsulated (XF-Superb 95 Jumbo, SMQ $11,500.00 as 95, $34,000 as 98). This is the highest grade awarded to date and only one other shares this grade. (Image)

FINE-VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL GUIDE LINE PAIR OF THE 10-CENT HORIZONTAL COIL, SCOTT 356.

According to Johl (Volume 1, page 181), only 10,000 of the 10c Washington coil stamp were issued. They were made especially for a New York firm to send out advertising samples, similar to the 3c Orangeburg coil. Only a few rolls were sold to the firm, and the remaining rolls were distributed to some of the large post offices across the country. Dealers acquired several rolls, but because most contemporary collectors did not collect coils, many were used and destroyed.

With 1978 and 2000 P.F. certificates, the former for guide line strip of four. (Image)
