Scott No. 476A; $4,250 for the grade of fine.

A LOVELY EXAMPLE OF THE 30¢ PERF 10 WASHINGTON-FRANKLIN ISSUE ON UNWATERMARKED PAPER FROM ONE OF THE TWO CERTIFIED SHEETS OF 100.

It is believed that the Scott 476A came into existence during the transition from gauging perforation 10 to 11 and the use of the new unwatermarked paper. Although the Bureau does not record producing such an issue, it is evident that at least three different unwatermarked sheets where used, creating the 209 issued stamps (top right pane of 100 from plate #6911, bottom right pane of 100 from plate #6917, two left sheet margin blocks of 4 and a bottom margin single from plate #6914. The far majority of these stamps are off-centered and is the reason for the Scott catalog valuation in the grade of fine.

Scott No. 485; $12,000 for single.

AN EXCEPTIONAL NEVER HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1917 5¢ CARMINE IMPERFORATE COLOR ERROR IN A BLOCK OF 6.

While producing the 2¢ plate "7942", during one of the inspections it was noted that three positions in the plate were not satisfactory and needed to be burnished out and re-entered. The transfer roll for the 5¢ stamp was mistakenly used with the error passing through production unnoticed, with the error sheets released in perf. 10 (467), perf. 11. (505) and a limited number imperf. (485).

Scott No. 539; $4,250 for the grade of fine.

ONE OF THE FINER NEVER HINGED EXAMPLES OF THE 1919 2¢ WASHINGTON TYPE II PERF 11 X 10 COIL WASTE ISSUE.

At the start or end of a coil-stamp print run from the 170-subject rotary plates, some leading or trailing paper was left over that was too short for 500 stamp coil rolls. The Bureau devised a plan to salvage this waste by converting the stamps from coil stamps into sheet stamps. This was accomplished by cutting the sheets into panes and putting the panes through the flat-plate perforator, giving the stamps perforations on all sides.

Scott No. 544; $30,000 for the grade of fine.

AN 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.
