Newspapers, 1875 Special Printing of 1865 issue, 5¢ to 25¢ imperforate. Complete set of upper left corner margin singles, printed by the Continental Bank Note Co. on new plates prepared around 1876, beautiful fresh colors on hard white paper, without the embossing present on stamps printed from the 1865 plates, without gum as issued, a Superb gem set of corner margin singles,ex-Fisher, Kotanchik, each with 1964 P.F. certificate for sheet and 2002 P.S.E. as singles, each graded (Gem 100). Scott No. PR5-PR7 var.; $3,250.
A REMARKABLE SET OF GRADED 100 CORNER MARGIN SINGLES IN OUTSTANDING CONDITION.
This set of singles was cut from the unique sheets of ten last offered in the Kotanchik sale. The 10¢ and the 25¢ values have white margins all around the design, unlike those stamps printed by National Bank Note Co. in 1865, which indicates that new plates were used. Unlisted but footnoted in Scott and written about by Luff and Braceland. Braceland suggests that the Continental Bank Note Co., due to the popularity of the 1875 reprints, which had been made from the original National Bank Note Co. plates, made new plates in anticipation of retaining its government printing contract.
