Sep. 24, 1863" double-circle datestamp, some ink smears, minor opening nick at upper right, this cover comes from the Hennan collection, but in our opinion the 38L1 stamp did not originate, offered on its own merits, a rare used stamp in any case, ex Golden, Scott Retail as used $1,250.00 (Image)

4335°   Image(Cole's) Post Office City Despatch, New York N.Y., 2c Black on Green Glazed, "C" at Right Inverted (40L4a). Position 36 with right "C" in mirror image (so-called "Inverted C"), large margins to touched at upper left, clear impression on bright green paper, neat manuscript cancel clear of "CC" initials, creases causing some cracks in enamel (endemic to this issue)

ONE OF FIVE RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE POST OFFICE CITY DESPATCH 2-CENT "INVERTED C" PLATE VARIETY ON ANY TYPE OF PAPER. THIS IS THE ONLY CONFIRMED EXAMPLE ON GREEN PAPER. ONE OF THE GREAT RARITIES OF LOCAL POSTS.

Only one subject on the plate of 42 (Position 36) shows the so-called "Inverted C" variety, which was caused when a mirror-image letter punch was used to enter the righthand "C". The mirror-image punch left a right-reading engraved letter on the plate, which in turn produced a mirror-image printed letter "C". The Scott Catalogue lists this variety as "C at right inverted", but in fact it is a mirror image of the letter "C". We have photographs of five different examples of Position 36, including three we can positively identify by paper type: Green (40L4a, the stamp offered here), Grayish (40L5a on cover, Mazza collection) and Yellowish Buff (40L8a, the stamp offered in lot 314). Our records contain black-and-white photographs of two other examples, but we cannot identify the paper color (one off cover and another on a cover with 3c 1851 overlapping).

Large margins, diagonal crease at lower right, affixed to brown cover and "tied" by fake "Paid" arc cancel, the red "New-York 2 cts." circular datestamp is genuine, as is the stamp itself, which is rare, Elliott Perry and George Sloane were convinced that this cover and three others like it, with the "Paid" in arc tying the stamp, were made by a dealer who cut up a block and made up covers with singles, ex Hall, Scott Retail as genuine unused stamp $3,000.00 as used $4,000.00 (Image)
