[The vertical double perfs are virtually coincident with the initial strike of the comb which has created the appearance of the block being Single-Line Perf which, if that were the case, would have us talking in the tens of thousands of dollars]

[An even more advanced state than sold at our online auction number 5 for $688. The ACSC states at page 4/70 that examples vary from a small break in the right of the 'O' of 'ONE' to the "obliteration of most of the letter". This is the most advanced deterioration we have seen]

image Single-Line Perf 5d chestnut 'JBC' Monogram pair with Retouched U/R Corner and Defective 'P' of 'PENCE' & '5' in L/H Value Tablet ACSC 122zg, well centred, the monogram unit is unmounted, Cat $1600+ for mounted, plus a premium for the unlisted states of both varieties: see below. The ACSC illustrations of [Pos 59] 122ve & vea are apparently identical, both showing the second state. Davidson Dix & Rowntree provide very clear illustrations, from which we have concluded that this example shows an unlisted state of the retouch: neither the corner split nor the notch in the U/R frame is evident. In addition [Pos 60] shows the three distinguishing features of the first state of the Defective 'P' plus an early state of the deformed '5' at left, but not the spur at L/L of the value tablet, a state not identified by either authority.
