 1920, 2¢ deep rose, type Ia, imperf. Deep intense color on bright white paper, enormous jumbo margins all around, Schermack perforations completely intact at left and showing small part of adjoining stamp at left, cancel
leaves most of design clearly visible, an Extremely Fine jumbo, ex-Drucker, with 1986 and 2003 P.F., and 2018 P.S.E. certificates, latter Graded (XF 90J, SMQ $135,000 as 90).
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. (Image1) |

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. (Image1) |
