 #313, $5.00 Dark green, an extraordinarily choice
used single, being in a quality that would be quite a challenge to
duplicate, possessing lavishly large margins all around and being
remarkably well centered within these oversized borders, rich luxuriant
color and impression, face-free cancel, extremely fine; a stamp for the
collector who appreciates the true rarity of this stamp in premium used
condition; 2001 PF certificate. (Image) |

 #315, 5c Blue imperforate, a most impressive used
single that possesses very large margins all around, plus its color is
deeply rich and its impression razor sharp on bright white paper, an
uncommonly light cancel further adds to this stamp's desirability,
extremely fine; a rare stamp in this select used condition. (Image) |

 #315, 5c Blue imperforate, a very rare used
horizontal pair, with uncharacteristically large margins all around, strong
rich color and a crisp impression, light wavy machine cancel, extremely
fine; used pairs are quite undercataloged and greatly sought-after, as
similar quality pairs have been realizing $3,500.00-$4,500.00 recently at
auction. (Image) |

#315, 5c Blue imperforate,
a highly desirable used block of four, all used examples of this
imperforate are scarcer than their mint counterparts, but blocks of four
are particularly elusive, even the Gold Medal collection of Roger Brody
that specialized in these issues lacked a used block, having only a single
and a pair, this example is particularly choice with a neat machine flag
cancel across the center of the block rather than oval cancels that are
often found, margins are large to extra large, deep color and unusually
sharp impression, extremely fine; an outstanding twentieth century used
rarity. (Image) |

 #318, 1c Blue green coil, perf. 12 vert., an
exceptional quality mint pair of this coil rarity, possessing outstanding
centering which is seldom encountered on this typically poorly centered
coil, rich color characteristic only to genuine examples of this, crisp
impression on clean fresh paper, even its perforations between the stamps
are unusually strong and intact, full clean o.g., lightly hinged, extremely
fine; certainly among the finest of the less than 100 pairs thought to
still exist; each stamp with light MeKeel guarantee handstamp and
accompanied by 1954 and 2002 PF certificates.
