1872-73 6c yellow brown Small Queen, Perforated 11.85 x 12,First Ottawa printing "one dot state" (plate position 94), nicely centered and fresh, mint never hinged, very fine. Accompanied by a 2019 Greene Foundation certificate. Catalogue value is for a "normal" #39 and does not take into consideration the rarity of mint stamps from the First Ottawa printing. This lot and the two following lots were in a strip of 3 plated as being from positions 92 to 94 from the "A" plate. The strip of 3 was pictured in Hillson's article on the 6c value published in The London Philatelist. The stamps are from a very early printing, as denoted by the perforation and the small single guide dots. We note that high-quality never hinged examples of First Ottawa printing 6c are exceptionally rare. In fact, based on our research, we have not identified any premium never hinged example being offered at auction prior to these three examples. The rarity of this stamp should not be confused with the much more common, yet still elusive, 6c yellow-brown from the "three dot state" which can be seen infrequently offered in premium never hinged condition. The strip of 3 was separated into three singles to give three collectors the opportunity to acquire one of these rare premium examples of the 6c from the First Ottawa printing. (Image)

(free strike broken circle in blue dated MAY.12.1873) to Hopedale, Massachusetts, with a 6c yellow brown Small Queen (one dot state, perforated 11½ x 12) placed right over the 1c, mailed at a time where post cards to the US were treated as letters (at the 6c rate). There were still no 5c stamps issued at this time, so a 6c was used on top of the 1c, as opposed to having been uprated by 5c, so could be considered as 1c overpaid.
