A HANDSOME AND DESIRABLE FULL MARGIN EXAMPLE OF THE 1920 2¢ TYPE IA IMPERFORATE WITH SCHERMACK TYPE III PRIVATE PERFORATIONS.
Scott 482A was issued imperforate by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and sold to the Schermack Company for use in its patented stamp-affixing machines. The Schermack "Sealer and Stamper" machine typically applied stamps one at a time, and, in most cases, the hyphen-hole perfs on one side would be cut off as a result of the cutting blade not aligning with the space between stamps. The release of imperforate sheets printed from the experimental Type Ia plates escaped the notice of contemporary collectors, resulting in a very small survival rate. Scott $65,000 (Image)

This pane has been noted to have a slight trace of hinging, contradicting the accompanying P.F. certificate which states it is never hinged. After careful examination, we feel the P.F. certificate is correct in it's "never hinged" opinion. Despite this reflection, this pane sold in the R.A. Siegel #881 sale (09/21/2004) for $30,000 hammer versus a $28,000 catalog value. Scott $29,000 (Image)

A CHOICE AND EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 1923 1¢ PERF 11 ROTARY SHEET WASTE ISSUE IN NEVER HINGED CONDITION - WITH APPROXIMATELY NINE SUCH EXAMPLES IN EXISTENCE.
A small quantity of 1¢ Rotary Press stamps was perforated 11 at the end of 1922, using remainder sheets from the earlier printings that were normally perforated in 10 gauge or 11/10 compound gauge. Most of the recorded copies of Scott 544 are off-center or have been damaged as a result of lower production standards and poor handling. It was not discovered until 1936 when three used examples came to light. Scott $35,000 in the grade of fine (Image)
