FINE-VERY FINE APPEARING AND RARE COMPLETE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PLATE OF 40 OF THE NEW YORK POSTMASTER'S PROVISIONAL.

All the issued New York stamps come from the single engraved plate of 40, made up of eight horizontal rows of five. Over the two-year period that the stamps were valid, 142,240 were printed, including the rare Blue and Gray papers from the last printing in 1847. There was a period in the 1970's and 1980's when Siegel Rarities sales occasionally contained a complete plate reconstruction. However, a review of Power Search revealed that this is the first we have offered since 1989.
