Scott No. 482A; $65,000.
THE HIGHEST GRADED OF ONLY 40 RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS MAJOR 20TH CENTURY RARITY, ESPECIALLY DESIRABLE WITH SUCH ENORMOUS MARGINS AROUND DESIGN.
Scott 482A was issued imperforate by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and sold to the Schermack Company for use in its patented stamp-affixing machines. The Schermack "Sealer and Stamper" machine typically applied stamps one at a time, and, in most cases, the hyphen-hole perfs on one side would be cut off as a result of the cutting blade not aligning with the space between stamps. The release of imperforate sheets printed from the experimental Type Ia plates escaped the notice of contemporary collectors, resulting in a very small survival rate. Scott $65,000 (Image)
1916, 2¢ carmine, type II, horizontal coil. Line pair, Rock Island duplex cancel, brilliant color, well centered; faint diagonal crease barely visible from reverse only, Very Fine appearance. Scott No. 491; $20,000.
AN ATTRACTIVE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1916 2¢ TYPE II HORIZONTAL LINE PAIR COIL - A GREAT RARITY WITH TEN EXAMPLES RECORDED.
Of the ten certified examples, three are known in multiples larger than pairs. Out of these seven pairs, two are faulty and one has a machine cancel which has been called into question. This leaves four sound line pairs which most of these have heavy of detracting cancellations. This example, although bearing a hidden fault, certainly is one of the most attractive that one can obtain. Scott $20,000 (Image)
