VERY FINE. AN EXTREMELY RARE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1922 ISSUE HORIZONTAL PAIR, IMPERFORATE VERTICALLY.
The only other example contained in Power Search was from our 1991 Rarities sale and is similar to this one, though the left vertical perfs cut further in. The Datz book states only ten pairs are recorded. Listed but unpriced in Scott. Given the $2,250.00 Scott Retail value for No. 557a, of which at least 50 are known plus two plate blocks, it is safe to assume that Scott Retail on this pair would be much higher were it priced (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE PAIR OF THE 12-CENT 1922 ISSUE IMPERFORATE VERTICALLY.
According to Gary Griffith, this was first listed in the Scott Catalogue in 1936, based on a find reported by Spencer Anderson. Apparently, one pane was discovered in which the top three rows showed no vertical perforations. Assuming no others were found, this would make only 15 pairs of the variety.
The Datz book notes that Scott value is for an "impaired pair" as many are without gum, with government splicing paper or faulty. (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE BEST CENTERED EXAMPLES OF THE RARE 25-CENT 1922 ISSUE IMPERFORATE HORIZONTALLY.
Apart from the unique plate number block offered in our 2013 Rarities sale, every example found using Power Search has perfs touching the design at left. This centered example is a rarity among rarities.
With clear 1963 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as a pair in the grade of Fine $3,250.00. Datz value for a strip of three (Image)
