476A |
 1916,
30¢ orange red. Deep and intense color, sharp proof-like impression on bright white paper, exceedingly well centered for this difficult stamp, natural s.e. at left, o.g., never hinged, fresh and Extremely Fine, with 1972 and 1996
P.F. certificates.
Scott No. 476A; $4,500.
AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE WITH CHOICE CENTERING OF THE RARE 30¢ PERF 10 ON UNWATERMARKED PAPER.
It is believed that the Scott 476A came into existence during the transition from
gauging perforation 10 to 11 and the use of the new unwatermarked paper. Although the Bureau does not record producing such an issue, it is evident that at least three different unwatermarked sheets where used, creating the 209 issued stamps (top
right pane of 100 from plate #6911, bottom right pane of 100 from plate #6917, two left sheet margin blocks of 4 and a bottom margin single from plate #6914. The far majority of these stamps are off-centered and is the reason for the Scott catalog
valuation in the grade of fine, with only a few truly extremely fine examples extant. (Image1) |
