1862 3d Blue Queen Victoria, Perforated 12, a mint sheet of 30 with full original hand-applied gum, never hinged. A lovely sheet, with all of its selvedge intact (separation at top left from having been folded) and with overall well centered stamps (catalogued as all very fine). We noted the (still) unlisted constant plate variety in pos. 16 ("break in "R") as well as other minor ones. (Image)

Group of 57 Stamped Covers, 1861-1873, earliest is MAY.22.1861, franked with 2d perforated 9 (USC $650 on cover). Also a #2 (3d blue perf. 9 with one side clipped) on cover to NS (USC $2,000 on cover). Most of the covers are franked with #5, with many shades and perforations (noted some compound, etc.) as well as a variety of obliterators and town postmarks, all dated between 1865 and 1872. Also includes a 3c (#13) on 1873 cover to Wood Islands (with fine receiver). The majority of these covers have faults, some major, (either to the covers or to the stamps and includes three pieces not counted), still an interesting group for postmarks, stamp varieties, etc. We recommend a close look as we only scanned a small sampling. A rarely offered group. (Image)

Christmas Day 1863 Cover with Scott #1, mailed on DEC.25.1863 "Prince Edward Island" c.d.s. on back to Georgetown, franked with a 2d rose Queen Victoria first issue, perforated 9 (cancelled but not tied). Docketing and slight edge fading, still a very fine cover. (Image)

1869 4d Black Queen Victoria Bisect on Cover, mailed and received in Charlottetown on NOV.18.1869 (faint, but readable c.d.s. on back and docketing on front) and franked with a diagonal half of a 4d stamp to pay for the 2d domestic rate. The stamp appears to be tied by an unknown red postmark, but we cannot attest to the authenticity of the bisect usage, so sold as is. Catalogue value for genuine usage is $3,000. (Image)

Est $ 100

Bisected 6c Black on Cover, mailed from Summerside on DEC.27.1872 to Charlottetown with DEC.30 receiver on back.
