2626   ImageDavis's Penny Post, Baltimore Md., (1c) Black on Lilac, "Pennq" for "Penny" (57L1a). Type B, Position 2 with large top right sheet margins, other sides ample to large with left ornaments just touched, pencil "X" cancel, tiny corner creases at bottom, truly insignificant, small red mark on back

EXTREMELY FINE. THE FINEST OF THE THREE USED EXAMPLES OF THE "PENNQ" ERROR, OF WHICH FOUR ARE KNOWN IN TOTAL. THIS CORNER-MARGIN COPY IS PROOF THAT THE ERROR OCCUPIED POSITION 2 IN THE SETTING.

The Davis's "Pennq Post" error was not noted by Denwood Kelly, and it remained unlisted in Scott for 40 years after Elliott Perry wrote to the U.S. Specialized editor, Eugene Costales, in April 1959, reporting the "Pennq" variety. This stamp was part of the C. E. Chapman collection, and, as far back as the 1890's, it was affixed to an 1852 folded letter to which it did not belong. The stamp has since been removed from the cover. It is the finest known used example.

Ex Chapman and Golden. With 1999 P.F. certificate (Image)
