 1c Blue, Laid Paper (63c). Clear vertical laid
lines, deep rich color, very lightly cancelled by target, accompanying certificate carefully annotates a couple of small tears and corner creases, which we would characterize as trivial flawsVERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT
1861 ISSUE ON VERTICALLY LAID PAPER. Don Evans notes in his 1c book (p. 37) that this is known to have been printed on both horizontally and vertically laid paper. He notes that examples are somewhat difficult to identify by casual observation.
He also notes that horizontally laid paper seems to be scarcer than vertically laid (he was aware of only two horizontal), but our experience and an examination of the records of The Philatelic Foundation indicate that both are equally scarce. They
are also usually seen with faults. With 2003 P.F. certificate. (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |

 3c Pink (64). Original gum, vibrant color in the
true Pink shade, choice centering with well-balanced margins, vertical bend (as usual) and single short perf at right center, neither mentioned on accompanying certificatesVERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 3-CENT
PINK. The nature of the ink used to print the 3c Pink shade is such that over the course of time, with exposure to light and other adverse elements, the color tends to oxidize or lose its vibrancy. This is a desirable example with vibrant
color. With copy of 1956 note (with photo showing intact right perf) from Ashbrook confirming this as a Pink. With 1965 and 1995 P.F. certificates as sound (both show the short perf) (Image) Search for comparables at SiegelAuctions.com |

IT EXISTS. Multiples of this distinctive shade are very difficult to obtain. Apart from the ex-Zoellner block of four (no gum) and the unique plate block of twelve, we have not offered any others since 1993. Ex Lilly, Grunin and Klein. With
