163 og Image1c Blue on Oriental Buff, Die 83, Full Corner (U298, UPSS 892). Unused, 47 x 55mm, clear watermark 8 distinguishes this from UPSS 891, rich color on fresh paper

EXTREMELY FINE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT BLUE ON ORIENTAL BUFF WITH WATERMARK 8. ONLY ONE ENTIRE AND THIS FULL CORNER ARE REPORTED.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue states one mint entire and this "very large" full corner are known for No. 892. For the other watermark type (UPSS 891, watermark 12), there are three or fewer entires reported and approximately ten cut squares or full corners. The two separate impressions of Die 83 on Oriental Buff offered in our Sale 1037 were on watermark 12 paper and would therefore be UPSS 891.

With 2000 P.F. certificate not specifying the UPSS No. Scott Retail for U298 does not distinguish between the two watermark types -- this type is significantly rarer than the other (Image)

164 og Image1c Blue on Blue, Die 83, Full Corner (U299, UPSS 893). 36 x 45mm, clear watermark 12 which distinguishes this from UPSS 894, beautiful complementary color and paper, strong embossing slightly breaks the paper in Franklin's head

VERY FINE. A RARE FULL CORNER OF THE ONE-CENT BLUE ON BLUE ISSUE, SCOTT 299.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue reports five or fewer entires exist, though this is significantly higher than all reported numbers we have heard before. In addition, Porter Venn records two full corners, two cut squares and an entire with "Specimen".

Ex Cole and Dr. Summers. With 2000 P.F. certificate not noting the trivial paper breakage from the die impression (Image)

VERY FINE AND CHOICE EXAMPLE OF THE DIE 87 2-CENT GREEN ON BLUE ISSUE. THIS IS NOT KNOWN AS AN UNUSED ENTIRE. A GREAT RARITY OF POSTAL STATIONERY COLLECTING.

166 og Image2c Green on Manila, Die 87, Full Corner (U309, UPSS 921). Unused, 48 x 44mm, deep rich color on fresh paper

EXTREMELY FINE AND RARE. ONLY FOUR UNUSED ENTIRES AND THIS UNUSED FULL CORNER ARE RECORDED.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue records two mint entires, two unused pre-addressed entires and three used entires. While one of the unused entires could obviously be cut down to a full corner, this is currently the only full corner of which we are aware.

VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT PLIMPTON ON AMBER MANILA PAPER. THIS IS THE ONLY RECORDED FULL CORNER.

The 2012 UPSS catalogue records only one mint and one used entire. This is believed to be the only unused full corner known. There are also perhaps four or five used cut squares known.
