UNITED STATES STAMPS continued...

1875 RE-ISSUES OF THE 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUES continued...
Lot Symbol CatNo. Lot Description CV or Estimate
81 p 125 125, 3c Blue, tied to piece of 4c envelope (U255), along with 2c Brown re-issue (124), by New York AMar 181884 duplex, 3c stamp with natural straight-edge at left, both stamps are exceptionally fresh, stamps lifted and hinged in place,#125, 3c Blue, tied to piece of 4c envelope (#U255), along with 2c Brown re-issue (#124), by "New York A/Mar 18/1884" duplex, 3c stamp with natural straight-edge at left, both stamps are exceptionally fresh, stamps lifted and hinged in place, the piece itself has a thin on the back not affecting the stamps which are both sound, very fine. This is one of the most desirable used Three Cent 1869 Pictorial re-issues in existence. Of the less than fifteen recorded copies, nearly all have faults of one sort or another. Not only is this example sound, but it is also the only one to clearly show a year date cancel (there was at one time one on cover, but it has not been seen in over 50 years). With this being the only one to be found on piece, it is currently the closest to an "on cover" example that one can get. An important showpiece for either the 1869 specialist or the advanced collector of used United States stamps. Accompanied by a 1975 PF certificate; ex-Coulter. The Scott catalog value is for "an attractive fine-very fine example with minimal faults". (Image) $28,375.00+
