#2, 5c Blue on pelure paper "Missionary", Ty. II, showing small "n" in "Cents", an enormously rare unused example demonstrating its outstanding quality by possessing four remarkably large and well balanced margins, magnificent pastel color and exquisite impression, the stamp's design has not been painted in unlike almost every other known unused copy, besides a few typical small faults which are endemic to these frail issues, there are small portions of the top right and bottom right corners which have been expertly added, extremely fine appearance; an historically exciting unused stamp, and of the mere twelve known unused Five Cent Missionaries this is, by far, the most superb appearing example, and among the finest of the ten available to collectors, as the other two reside in the Tapling Collection housed in the British Museum; 1944 APS and 2004 PF certificates; ex-Rider, Rust and Pietsch.

#7/1175, C1/JQ2, The desirable balance of the David Noll collection of primarily mint stamps, hundreds of stamps in mounts in a Scott National album, plus dozens of better high quality duplicates on sales sheets as acquired by Mr. Noll, the collection is rather sparse in 19th century issues and is mixed mint and used, as well in quality, however the real value is found in a wonderful array of high quality mint stamps from the 1894 Bureau issues through the 1920's, with a plethora of low to medium catalog value stamps found in particularly select quality, often exceedingly well centered and margined, as well as the majority being never hinged, there are many Washinton-Franklin issues that if offered individually on a retail basis would far exceed their catalog values (particularly the 1917-19 series), the 1922-25 Regular issues have many gem stamps as well, even the 2c "Red" commemoratives are all in unusually choice quality, there is value to be found in the later issues through the 1950's, of note is a White Plains souvenir sheet, plus three 1956 $5.00 Hamiltons, some significant color shifts are found throughout, the collection concludes with a representative showing of back-of-the-book issues, primarily air posts which are complete less the Graf Zeppelins; as mentioned previously some of the earliest issues have small faults, but from 1894 on the collection is almost uniformly sound and select with many premium quality stamps, virtually all with o.g., many of which are n.h., very fine-extremely fine; an impressive 38 PF or PSE certificates accompany.
