31   Image5c Orange Brown, Ty. II (30). Deep rich color nicely complemented by neat strike of blue "Baltimore Md. Jul. 16, 1861" circular datestamp, unusually choice centering with wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT ORANGE BROWN, WHICH HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E. -- THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.

5c stamps in the Orange Brown shade (Scott 30) were printed from Plate 2 in 1861. They were the last stamps of the 1857 Issue distributed before the U.S. Post Office Department demonetized all circulating stamps in August 1861. For this reason, the 5c Orange Brown is much scarcer in used condition than unused.

With 2000 P.F. and 2007 P.S.E. certificates (XF-Superb 95; SMQ $10,000.00). This is the highest grade awarded and only three others share it. (Image)

33   Image10c Green, Ty. I (31). Unusually wide margins which amply shows the entire design, rich color on bright paper, neat strike of San Francisco circular datestamp

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A BEAUTIFUL USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE I, WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THE TYPE CHARACTERISTICS.

Type I is defined as having the entire design complete at bottom, and it only comes from the bottom 20 positions on the plate. Due to narrow spacing and its location on the bottom row, the defining characteristic is often cut off by the perforations. A notable exception is the stamp offered here, which has extra wide spacing at bottom. This is an excellent example of a stamp that may not receive a high numerical grade due to unbalanced margins, but ranks among the finest known.

With 1996 P.F. certificate (Image)

36   Image10c Green, Ty. IV (34). Position 86L1, recut at top, deep rich color, choice centering with evenly-balanced margins, light strike of circular datestamp leaves entire design clearly visible

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE IV. A DIFFICULT ISSUE TO OBTAIN IN HIGHER GRADES.

10c 1855 Type IV stamps are defined by the recut of one or both outer lines at the top or bottom of the design. Type IV stamps come from only seven scattered positions on the left pane and one position on the right pane of Plate 1. Therefore, only 4% of the stamps from Plate 1 are Type IV.

With 1985 and 2000 P.F. and 2008 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90; SMQ $6,000.00). Only four have graded higher (all at 95) and five others share this grade. (Image)

38   Image12c Black, Plate 3, Double Frameline at Right (36B var). Intense shade and impression which clearly shows the variety, neat red grid cancel, wide margins, Very Fine and choice example of this variety, according to the Neinken pamphlet on the 12c stamp, "These extra side line varieties are the result of vertical lines ruled from the top to the bottom of the plate, and while not always continuous, they generally are found extending the full length of the stamp. It is believed that each position in the third vertical row had an extra line to the right of the right outside frame line, and each position in the fourth vertical row had an extra line to the left of the left outside frame line. Thus two extra vertical lines were ruled between the 3rd and 4th vertical rows. Between the 7th and 8th vertical rows of the left pane is a single line, which we believe runs from the top to the bottom of the plate.", with 1983 and 1998 P.F. certificates (Image)
