VERY FINE APPEARING EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 1861 5-CENT FIRST DESIGN. ONLY 37 EXAMPLES ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS.
Our census of Scott 57, available at our website at http://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/57 , contains a total of 37 copies of this rarity. Of these, one is in The New York Public Library collection. Of the 36 thought to be available to collectors, two are cancelled, 19 have no gum, five have part original gum and ten have full (or nearly full) original gum. Approximately half the full or part original gum stamps in private hands have faults.
Census No. 57-UNC-37. With 2015 P.F. certificate (Image)
FINE EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 30-CENT 1861 FIRST COLOR.
Our census of Scott 61, available at https://siegelauctions.com/census/us/scott/61 , contains a total of 33 examples, including one in the Miller collection at The New York Public Library. Virtually all are centered to one side, and many are centered to two sides. A characteristic common to most examples of the 30c 1861 First Color is creasing, which in some cases is very severe and in others barely visible. Only six stamps with original gum are free of faults, and among those a few have a nibbed perf or two.
Census No. 61-OG-09. Ex Waterhouse, Crocker and "Ambassador" (Siegel Sale 300) and from our 1995 Rarities sale. With 1955 and 2008 P.F. certificates (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN ATTRACTIVE AND COLLECTIBLE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT BUFF.
The 5c Buff and Brown Yellow shades are among the rarest of 1861-66 Issue stamps in any kind of unused condition with original gum. While the flaws on this example do not visually detract, they will make it much more affordable.
With 2017 P.S.E. certificate (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARING UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT BROWN YELLOW, SCOTT 67a.
The Brown Yellow is a distinct shade, and is even scarcer than the Buff in unused condition.
Bit heavy backstamp just shows thru. With 1959 P.F. certificate as 5c Buff (Scott 67) and not mentioning the reperfing (Image)
