The Civil War and Confederate States continued...
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
309 c Image2c Brown Red (8). Block of four and pair, block with large margins to touched at top right, with portions of adjoining stamps at bottom, top left stamp with unusual printer's thumbprint (from handling the wet sheet), pair with ample margins to touched, small scissors-cut in bottom stamp, tied by dark blue "Charlottesville Va. May 25, 1863" double-circle datestamps on back of small overpaid cover to Forest Depot Va., front side with some minor mounting remnants which could no doubt be removed

EXTREMELY FINE. PROBABLY THE FINEST OF THE FEW KNOWN COVERS BEARING A BLOCK OF THE 2-CENT "RED JACK" ISSUE.

We have offered a cover with a block of eight and a pair (double 10c rate) but it is large size, heavily pen-cancelled and faulty. Apart from that we have not offered any other blocks on cover since keeping computerized records. This is also unusual in its 2c overpayment of the 10c rate.

Ex Pratt and Brooks. Accompanied by a 1949 letter from Stanley B. Ashbrook stating that Brooks paid $700 for the cover in the 1920's (Image)

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND, ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES 10-CENT FRAMELINE ISSUE.

This is the rarest Confederate States General Issue stamp in original-gum condition (apart from the Carmine shade of Scott 5). We have offered only about a dozen in any shade since keeping computerized records and the vast majority of those had faults of varying degrees.

314°   Image20c Green (13). Huge even margins all around with traces of adjoining stamps at sides, deep rich color, neat strike of red Petersburg Va. circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A STUNNING USED EXAMPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES 20-CENT GREEN CANCELED IN RED. THIS EXCEPTIONAL STAMP HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF SUPERB 98 BY P.S.E. -- THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

Used examples of this issue are considerably more difficult to obtain in such superb condition. Multiples of the unused stamp from remainders exist and can be cut down. Used examples are scarce, and were often hurriedly cut apart. To find one with this size margins and cancelled in red is truly remarkable.

With 2002 and 2009 P.F. certificates. With 2013 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98; SMQ $3,900.00). P.S.E. does not publish Population Reports for Confederate States but they inform us that this is the only stamp graded 98, with the next highest a single example at 95 (Image)
