R111a |
 #R111a, 20c Blue and black, Center Inverted, an attractive example of this rare invert, possessing outstanding colors that are remarkably deep and rich, in
addition it is cancelled by a light oval blue handstamp dated Mar 30, 1872, as well as an unusually light herringbone cancel that barely breaks the paper in one place, better centered than most, tiny trace of a thin speck at top right, still
fine; only seventeen examples of the Twenty Cent with Inverted Centers are recorded, with this being one of the finest among that small group, as its centering is far superior to most (there are no very fine centered copies) and it is one of
only six that possess the desirable handstamp cancel, plus we are aware of only one that does not have faults. (Image) |

 #R111a, 20c Blue and black, Center Inverted, horizontal pair tied to piece by strong herringbone cancel, deep colors, left stamp with small closed tear at
bottom, fine; an important piece for the collector of inverted centers or largest known multiples, as this is the only recorded multiple of any size of this rare inverted center, Scott lists a pair but does not price it, we have conservatively
cataloged it as two singles; ex-Joyce. (Image) |

R112a |
 #R112a, 25c Blue and black, Center Inverted, a stunning used single that is one of the finest quality in existence, as it possesses incredibly prooflike color
and impression unlike any other we have seen, plus it is exceedingly well centered, neat 1871 ms. cancel further contributes to this stamp's desirability, very fine; there are only seventeen recorded copies of this invert, and the only example
that can compare in terms of quality is the used ex-Joyce copy, which has not been certified by the Philatelic Foundation; 1989 PF certificate. (Image) |
