VERY FINE. A SCARCE COMPLETE SET OF THE ATLANTA TRIAL COLOR PROOFS OF THE 5-CENT AND 10-CENT 1847 REPRODUCTIONS.
The Atlanta trial color plate proofs on card were prepared for display at the 1881 International Cotton Exposition in Atlanta. Only one sheet of 50 in each color was made available after 1881. They were cut up into one set of blocks of eight, two sets of blocks of four, two sets of pairs and singles. Very few have been kept together as intact sets. (Image)
VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A MAGNIFICENT COMPLETE SET OF ATLANTA TRIAL COLOR PROOFS FOR THE 1861-66 ISSUE DESIGNS. THIS IS ONLY THE SECOND COMPLETE SET OF ALL 50 PROOFS WE HAVE OFFERED IN DECADES.
The Atlanta trial color plate proofs on card were prepared for display at the 1881 International Cotton Exposition in Atlanta. Only one sheet of 100 in each color was made available after 1881.
A Power Search review found only one other intact set offered in one of our auctions since 1994 plus all of our Rarities sales. These are often offered either by denomination or other smaller groupings, because it is difficult to assemble the complete set. (Image)

VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. AN INCALULABLY RARE COMPLETE SET OF ALL COLORS AND ALL DENOMINATIONS FOR THE OFFICIAL ATLANTA TRIAL COLOR PROOFS. THIS IS THE FIRST COMPLETE SET WE HAVE OFFERED SINCE KEEPING COMPUTERIZED RECORDS. A PHENOMENAL OPPORTUNITY.
The Atlanta trial color plate proofs on card were prepared for display at the 1881 International Cotton Exposition in Atlanta. Only one sheet in each color was printed.
A Power Search review of our auctions indicates the rarity of this intact set. Previous offerings by our firm are either nearly complete (such as the Sheriff set) or substantially incomplete to the point where they are offered by department. A collector normally must comb countless auctions looking for parts in order to try and assemble the complete set. The dollar-value State Departments, which catalogue $1,000.00 apiece, are also almost never seen as full sets. (Image)
