EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB EXAMPLE OF THE SCARCE PERFORATED TYPE IV ONE-CENT AND A RARE POSITION 7R, WHICH FURNISHED TYPE I BEFORE PLATE ONE WAS REWORKED.
With 2008 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90, SMQ $2,200.00 as a normal Type IV position) (Image)
VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN INCREDIBLY RARE MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 3-CENT PERFORATED TYPE I STAMP.
Unlike its Type II counterpart, the 3c Type I, which was produced in 1857 by perforating sheets from the earlier imperforate issue, is virtually impossible to find in Mint N.H. condition. Our search of previous auction catalogues confirms this observation. In addition, because the Type I plate did not provide sufficient space for perforations, stamps with complete lines on three sides are very scarce. Thus, a 3c Type I stamp in Mint N.H. condition with complete lines on three sides is a great rarity, of which only a sparse few exist.

EXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB USED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1857 ISSUE IN THE DESIRABLE INDIAN RED COLOR.
With 1999 and 2004 P.S.E. certificates (XF 90, SMQ $9,600.00). Only one has graded higher to date and only four others share this grade. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENT 1860 TYPE II. SCARCE WITH SUCH CHOICE CENTERING.
With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (XF 90, SMQ $5,500.00). This is one of only three examples to achieve this grade, and only one hinged and one Mint N.H. example have graded higher to date. (Image)
EXTREMELY FINE GEM. THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE FINEST ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLES OF THE 1857 10-CENT TYPE III IN EXISTENCE. THIS MARVELOUS STAMP HAS BEEN GRADED XF-SUPERB 95 BY P.S.E.
The first perforated 10c stamps produced by Toppan Carpenter from sheets printed from Plate 1 are notorious among collectors for their poor centering. They are also very scarce in original-gum condition because, unlike 10c Plate 2 stamps (Scott 35), there were no supplies on hand in 1861 when the issue was demonetized due to the outbreak of the Civil War. The example offered here, with superior centering, lightly-hinged gum, fresh paper and intense color, is a true condition rarity.
With 2009 P.S.E. certificate (OGph, XF-Superb 95, SMQ $26,800.00). This is the highest grade awarded to date and the only example to achieve this grade. (Image)
VERY FINE APPEARANCE. THIS IS ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THIS RAILROAD PROPAGANDA DESIGN. ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL CALIFORNIA ILLUSTRATED COVERS.
Shortly after our recent Jarrett sale, which contained the other example, the current owner of this cover sent it to us for inclusion in our Rarities sale. He has owned it for decades and is offering it now for the first time. (Image)
