210 nh 161 image#161, 10c Brown, the mint example offered here is, without question, one of the most spectacular quality examples of a mint #161 in existence, as this stamp possesses numerous physical qualities that are simply unheard of on this terribly underrated and difficult Bank Note, beginning with its incomparable overall "post office" freshness, possessing absolutely stunning intense color and a prooflike impression on bright crisp paper, its centering is virtually perfect amid uncharacteristically large margins, and its reverse boasts immaculate o.g. that is never hinged and is free of any gum bends or skips, an extremely fine gem in every regard; an exciting stamp that is certain to realize a record price, and deservedly so.

SOLD for $3,250.00

214 og 165 image#165, 30c Gray black, a phenomenal quality mint example, being in a condition that is virtually impossible to find on this truly rare Bank Note, possessing numerous exceptional physical characteristics, any one of which would be impressive, but to find all converging on a single example is most remarkable, including being extraordinarily well centered within large margins, its color is in the perfect representative greenish black shade that positively identifies this as the 30c Continental printing, plus its impression is strong on bright fresh paper, full o.g. that has been relatively lightly hinged, an extremely fine gem; quite likely the finest quality mint Thirty Cent 1873 Continental Bank Note in existence; the rarity of this stamp in such outstanding quality (particularly with original gum) cannot be overemphasized, and serious collectors in recent auctions have begun to recognize and appreciate its rarity, as evidenced by auction realizations in the $12,500.00 to $20,000.00 range for examples not nearly as choice as the remarkable example offered here from the collection of William J. Higgins; 1999 PF certificate. (Image) 2,500.00

(Image) 950.00

SOLD for $2,000.00
Closing..Mar-08, 04:30 PM
220 nh 188 image#188, 10c Brown, with secret mark, a phenomenal mint example in a condition that is almost unheard of on this surprisingly difficult and truly rare Bank Note, possessing outstanding centering amid lavishly large margins, but even more impressive is this stamp's fantastic overall brilliance and freshness, with absolutely stunning color in an intense shade, plus its impression is truly prooflike on pristine paper, immaculate o.g., never hinged, an extremely fine gem in every regard; quite likely the finest mint never hinged #188 in existence; the rarity of this stamp in choice never hinged condition cannot be overemphasized as, unlike other values from this same Bank Note series which can sometimes be found never hinged, the Ten Cent value is almost never seen offered; in fact, we can find no major "name" collection sold recently or in the distant past that had a never hinged single in the condition that even remotely compares to the remarkable stamp offered here; 2000 PF certificate.
