[NB: the issued stamp was on thicker paper Perf 11. The ACSC states that one sheet was prepared & characterises it as a 'plate proof'. Part of the sheet was discovered only in 1988. Examples sold at the Prestige/Abacus auctions of 11.7.2008, 19.11.2011, 5.3.2015 & 30.8.2020 for $1610 $1552 $1755 & $1557 respectively]

Ex Julian Sterling: sold at our auction of 30.11.2019 for $5510. Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2012) states "very rare". Our vendor has requested a very conservative estimate. [The discovery part-sheet was broken-down mostly into singles. A few blocks of 4 are believed to be the largest surviving multiples]

image 1964-65 Birds Chambon Perf 13½x14 stamp-size essay for a 5d Brush Turkey design on gummed unwatermarked paper, unmounted, Cat $500. [This was a trial printing in London to test the Chambon press. One sheet of 60 came onto the market only in 2015. With a mere 60 examples available to the market, and Birds being such a popular thematic subject - with the additional appeal to Americans of this being a "turkey" - we believe it is significantly undervalued]
