1857-60 Issue (Scott 18-39)
Lot Sym. Lot Description  
27 ng Image1c Blue, Ty. Ia (19). Position 92L4, unused (no gum), rich color on bright paper, three wide margins, perfs just in at bottom but Ty. Ia plumes clearly evident

FINE. A SCARCE SOUND UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE PERFORATED 1857 ONE-CENT TYPE Ia.

Type Ia was produced by only 18 of the 20 bottom-row positions on Plate 4. Although Plate 4 was designed with sufficient space to accommodate perforations, the height of the top row and bottom row positions resulted in the perforations often cutting into the design at either top or bottom.

Ex Geisler. With 1986 P.F. certificate for vertical pair of Nos. 19 and 21. With 2007 P.S.E. certificate as this single (Image)

36 og Image5c Brick Red (27). Original gum with two small ink notations, vivid Brick Red color, margins to touched at left with perfs clear of outer projections on other three sides, small picked-out inclusion to right of Jefferson's face described on most recent certificate as "filled", but this is barely noticeable

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1858 5-CENT BRICK RED.

Many collectors know this issue by type and shade, but few are aware of the order of production (or release). This state of confusion is partly due to the Scott Catalogue. The distinctive Brick Red shade of the 5c 1857 Issue comes first in the series of Scott-listed perforated 5c issues, but its true release date comes later in the sequence.

Based on dated covers, the 5c Type I shades were released in the following order: 1) Red Brown, Scott 28, EDU 8/23/1857; 2) Indian Red, Scott 28A, EDU 3/31/1858; 3) Brick Red, Scott 27, EDU 10/6/1858; and 4) Brown, Scott 29, EDU 3/21/1859, almost certainly the last printing from the first 5c plate. The second 5c plate was made from a new six-relief transfer roll with the design projections cut away at top and bottom, to varying degrees. The Type II Brown was issued first (Scott 30A, EDU 5/4/1860), and the Orange Brown printing from the same plate followed about one year later (Scott 30, EDU 5/8/1861).

After surveying dozens of classic United States sale catalogues, we found approximately twenty examples of Scott 27 with original gum, allowing for duplicate offerings and excluding the one known original-gum block. Of the stamps we counted, about half had perfs touching on two sides or were deeply cut into on one side. Almost two-thirds had stains or small faults.

37 ng Image5c Red Brown (28). Unused (no gum), deep rich color and proof-like impression on bright paper, unusually choice centering for this difficult issue with perforations clear of outer projections on all four sides, small corner thin at bottom left mentioned on accompanying certificates is negligible and barely noticeable even under magnification

EXTREMELY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 5-CENT RED BROWN.

The perforated 5c "1856" Red Brown (Scott 28) stamps were made from the stock of imperforate stamps on hand in 1857 when perforations were introduced. Since these were the first 5c stamps to be put through the perforating machine, they were the first to be used. As such, very few are known with original gum -- we have offered only two singles and a block since 1998. This is only the seventh unused (no gum) example we have offered since keeping computerized records. Most have flaws or are off-center. The example offered here, with superior centering and a negligible flaw, should be considered highly desirable.
