1015   2c Deep Rose, Ty. Ia, Imperforate, Schermack Ty. III Private Perforation (482A).> Deep rich color on bright white paper, Schermack perforations at left, neat machine cancel, completely sound<><>^VERY FINE. A DESIRABLE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT TY2c Deep Rose, Ty. Ia, Imperforate, Schermack Ty. III Private Perforation (482A). Deep rich color on bright white paper, Schermack perforations at left, neat machine cancel, completely sound

VERY FINE. A DESIRABLE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT TYPE Ia IMPERFORATE. ONE OF THE MAJOR RARITIES OF UNITED STATES PHILATELY.

Scott 482A, like its more famous predecessor, Scott 314A, was issued imperforate by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and sold to the Schermack Company for use in its patented stamp-affixing machines. The Schermack "Sealer and Stamper" machine typically applied stamps one at a time, and, in most cases, the hyphen-hole perfs on one side would be cut off. Unlike Scott 314A, the release of imperforate sheets printed from the experimental Type Ia plates escaped the notice of contemporary collectors, and, therefore, this stamp has a very small survival rate.

Our updated census of Scott 482A (available at http://siegelauctions.com/enc/census/482A.pdf) records three covers, one unused single, a used pair and 34 used singles for a total of 40 stamps. Most examples are either cut well into the design or have the Schermack perfs trimmed away on one side.

Schermack Type III stamps are often cut into the design by the oblong perforations or miscut with one side of the perforated margin missing. This problem for collectors, which meant very little to contemporary users of the stamps, resulted from two consecutive events. First, the sheets were perforated with the Schermack holes, creating an opportunity for misalignment between the stamps. Second, when the strip of stamps was fed through the Schermack affixing machine, the cutting blade did not always align with the space between stamps.

Census No. 482A-CAN-16. Ex Hewitt. With 1978, 1985 and 2004 P.F. certificates (Image)

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. A MAGNIFICENT MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT CARMINE IMPERFORATE ERROR. THIS MARVELOUS STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E.

The SMQ no longer prices Scott 485. This surely must have originally come from one of the double error positions, or else it would show part of the adjoining stamp at top as well. With 2006 P.S.E. certificate (Superb 98 Jumbo, unlisted in SMQ) (Image)

A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAM5c Carmine, Imperforate, Error (485). Mint N.H. single error in strip of three with two normal 2c stamps, huge margins incl. significant portioned of adjoining stamps at sides, brilliant color

EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT IMPERFORATE SINGLE ERROR IN A STRIP OF THREE WITH TWO 2-CENT STAMPS.

During the course of production of the normal 2c plate No. 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was returned to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 (Scott 467, 485 and 505). The imperforate is by far the rarest of the three.

A BEAUTIFUL LAR5c Carmine, Imperforate, Error (485). Single error in block of 30, error block Mint N.H., two stamps at top center previously hinged (easily trimmed), brilliant color, sheet margin at right with full arrow

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A BEAUTIFUL LARGE MULTIPLE CONTAINING A SINGLE EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT IMPERFORATE ERROR. A MARVELOUS SHOWPIECE.

During the course of production of the normal 2c plate No. 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was returned to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 (Scott 467, 485 and 505). The imperforate is by far the rarest of the three.

Large multiples such as the one offered here are becoming increasingly scarce, as several have been cut apart in recent years to make high-grade singles. The destruction of blocks eventually forced P.S.E. to stop pricing singles in the Stamp Market Quarterly to discourage the practice.
