661° og Image24c Violet, Thin Paper (70c). Original gum, lightly hinged, deep rich color and proof-like impression, remarkably choice centering for this difficult issue

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS WITHOUT QUESTION ONE OF THE FINEST ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLES OF THE 1861 24-CENT VIOLET ON THIN PAPER WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST STAMPS IN SOUND, CENTERED AND ORIGINAL-GUM CONDITION.

The 24c 1861 exists in four basic shades of Violet: Dark Violet (August 1861 trial printing, formerly Scott 60); Violet on Thin Paper (August-September 1861 regular issue, Scott 70c -- the shade offered here); Pale Gray Violet (1861 regular issue, Scott 70d) and Blackish Violet (ca. 1863 printing, Scott 78c). All four are rare, especially in sound original-gum condition. We feel this is nearly as rare as the Blackish Violet, which has a catalogue value of $100,000.00.

With 2006 P.F. certificate. This stamp and the ex-Whitman copy (Siegel Sale 968, lot 89, realized $90,000 hammer) are the two finest we have encountered. (Image)

663° og Image90c Blue (72). Original gum, lightly hinged, warm shade, wide and balanced margins

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A SUPERB ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 90-CENT 1861 ISSUE WHICH IS VERY LIGHTLY HINGED.

We have encountered perhaps a half-dozen sound 90c 1861 stamps with original gum and Very Fine or Extremely Fine centering. The multiples that were broken to furnish singles were generally off center.

Ex Hetherington and Senchuk as top stamp in a vertical pair. 1961 P.F. certificate as pair no longer accompanies. With 2011 P.S.A.G. certificate (XF-Superb 95). By way of comparison, only one is graded 95 at P.S.E. (Image)

669° og Image5c Red Brown (75). Original gum, lightly hinged, beautiful deep shade of Red Brown, nice centering with well-balanced margins

VERY FINE. A FRESH AND CHOICE SOUND, ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1861 5-CENT RED BROWN.

The 5c Red Brown is one of the 1861-66 stamps that challenges collectors who demand choice original-gum examples. Multiples are extremely rare, with only one recorded original-gum block; therefore, there has never been a supply of blocks from which singles could be harvested. The vast majority of original-gum singles are off-center, faulty or both.

With 2016 P.F. certificate (OGph, VF 80). By way of comparison, the highest graded original gum example of Scott 75 contained in P.S.E.'s Population Report is Fine 70 (Image)
