2508 og 296a image1901 4c deep red brown & black, Center Inverted, unused with full original gum, h.r., incredibly bright and fresh colors, centered just slightly to the bottom, far better centering than most existing examples, superior quality, among the finest available, without the usual gum problems that plague this issue, with 1960 and 2009 PFCs. There were two sheets of 100 each of the 4c Pan-American with centers inverted intentionally made for Post Office records. An unknown number of these were overprinted "Specimen" and still others were destroyed. The unoverprinted examples were mounted in a Post Office Department book resulting in the vast majority of them having disturbed gum, and a number were also thinned in an effort to remove them from mounting paper. Very few exist today with completely undisturbed original gum and/or free of faults. This example is accompanied by a 1960 PFC which states the stamp has "disturbed gum". It is easy to agree with the written notations on the certificate by the legendary dealer Jack Molesworth who writes "Ridiculous comment, probably the most undisturbed gum of any copy known - most of which have gum missing, thinned, etc. from being stuck down." (the stamp was resubmitted to the Philatelic Foundation, which issued a certificate in 2009 "It is genuine, previously hinged" (the catalogue value in Scott is for examples that have "full original gum that is slightly disturbed.") (a comparable example recently fetched $60,000 hammer in the June Siegel auction) cat. $85000 (Cat No. 296a) (Image)

United States 1979 "CIA" Invert
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
2509 nh 1610c image1979 $1.00 Rush Lamp & Candle Holder, intaglio brown color inverted, n.h., v.f., with 2001 APS certificate. (The popular "CIA invert" is one of the most well known inverted color errors in United States collecting. These stamps were discovered by an on-duty CIA employee who teamed up with some colleagues to purchase the pane from a post office. Saving a copy each, the group later sold the bulk of the sheet to a prominent stamp dealer. News of the error reached CIA officials who sought to claim ownership and US Postal authorities who tried to recover the stamps. Official queries, threats, and even job losses followed the group until the sale of the pane was ruled legal. Of that pane of 100, only 93 reached collectors and did not include a plate block. Recently, a block of 20 from a second pane has emerged), ex-Sagar, cat. $17000 (Cat No. 1610c) (Image)

The "McCoy" Inverted Jenny
LotNo. Symbol CatNo. Lot Description
2511 og C3a image1918 24c carmine rose and blue, Center Inverted, position 75, original gum, well centered, small tear at left, thin spots at top and a few blunt perfs (the latter not mentioned on the accompanying certificates), v.f. appearance, with 1982 and 2001 PFCs. This stamp is the lower left copy from the famous "McCoy Block" belonging to Ethel B. McCoy, which was stolen at the APS convention on September 23, 1955. Originally purchased by William T. Robey in 1918 (as a sheet of 100 from a Washington D.C. post office), the block was later owned by Arthur Hind, the Scott Stamp and Coin Co., Spencer Anderson and then Ethel McCoy (nee Stewart). Mrs. McCoy was reimbursed $15,000 by her insurance company and the rights of the block were sold to the American Philatelic Research Library. The block was never seen again intact, but this stamp appeared in 1958 when it was offered to the Weill brothers in New Orleans. The FBI was notified but it did not meet the minimum value for them to get involved. It then resurfaced in 1977 when it was submitted to the Philatelic Foundation for expertising. This time the FBI did get involved and after its recovery and custody battle, Mrs. McCoy donated the stamp to the American Philatelic Research Library. It was sold in 1981 on behalf of APRL at the APS Convention in Atlanta by John Kaufmann to Dr. Joseph Kurtzman, who sold it through Siegel to its current owner in 2001. A wonderful stamp with a fascinating story, cat. $450000 (Cat No. C3a) (Image)
