5c Buff (67). Original gum, wonderful warm shade, gum partly redistributed over sealed tear at bottom right

VERY FINE APPEARING ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT BUFF 1861 ISSUE.

The 5c Brown Yellow and Buff shades are among the rarest of 1861-66 Issue stamps in original gum condition. Perhaps the only shade varieties rarer are the 3c Pigeon Blood Pink and 24c Blackish Violet (Scott 64a and 78c), but Scott 67 is a major catalogue listing and is, therefore, more significant to completion of the series.

With 1967 P.F. certificate as sound (Image)

10c Yellow Green (68). Block of four, original gum, lightly hinged, beautifully centered, intense shade and impression, few perf separations expertly reinforced, small corner crease at bottom left

VERY FINE. A SCARCE ORIGINAL-GUM BLOCK OF FOUR OF THE 10-CENT 1861 ISSUE.

A Power Search review indicates this is the first original-gum block we have offered in one of our auctions since 1996. Ishikawa had a block of four, heavily reinforced and with perfs cutting into the design. Sinkler had a block of four with similar centering to the one offered here, as did Caspary (offered in our Sale 775 in 1996). One other was offered in our Sale 756 (in 1993) with perfs into the design at top. Klein had a block of six, without gum. Blocks have been missing from most major collections, including Zoellner and Eno and Whitman.

With 1995 P.S.E. certificate. Undercatalogued in Scott, probably since none have been offered in recent memory to serve as basis for adjusting catalogue value. (Image)
