VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN ATTRACTIVE USAGE BEARING THREE LARGE-MARGINED SINGLES OF THE 5-CENT 1856 ISSUE.
Ex Waterhouse and Mayer. With 1969 P.F. certificate. (Image)
VERY FINE. A RARE COMBINATION USAGE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY THREE COVERS BEARING A COMBINATION OF THE 5-CENT 1856 ISSUE WITH THE 10-CENT 1855 TYPE I IMPERFORATE ISSUE TO PAY THE 15-CENT RATE TO ANY FOREIGN DESTINATION.
Our comprehensive census of Scott No. 12 records only two other such combinations, both to France (one to Nantes, the other also to Paris).
Ex Mayer. Unpublished Census No. 12-COV-306. (Image)
FRESH AND VERY FINE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY FOUR RECORDED STRIPS OF THREE OF THE 5-CENT 1856 ISSUE TO PARIS. A GREAT RARITY.
Of the four recorded strips of three, two are horizontal and two are vertical. Unpublished Census No. 12-COV-354. With 1982 Bolaffi certificate (Image)
FINE APPEARANCE. ONE OF THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLES OF THE 5-CENT 1856 ISSUE ON COVER.
Our records show ten blocks of the 5c 1856 stamp, including an original-gum block, five off-cover used blocks, and four blocks on cover. An intact block of six on cover is the largest of all recorded multiples. The cover offered here (ex Gibson, Rohloff and Mayer) was originally franked with a block of six, but in an act of depraved indifference to philately, someone cut off the top right stamp.
Ex Gibson, Rohloff and Mayer. Scott Retail for a used block of four off cover (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE II ISSUE.
With 2006 P.S.E. certificate as VF 80, which in our opinion is at least two levels below this stamp's standing (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE 1855 10-CENT TYPE III ISSUE.
Ex Concord. With 1985 P.F. certificate. Scott Retail as with gum. (Image)
VERY FINE-EXTREMELY FINE. A PARTICULARLY CHOICE ORIGINAL-GUM PAIR OF THE 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE.
As this pair demonstrates, the spacing between stamps on the plate was very narrow. Sound original-gum examples with four margins are great rarities, and most have been harvested from larger multiples.
With 1988 P.F. certificate for pair not mentioning scissors-cut and with 2006 P.F. certificate (Image)
