 #21, 1c Blue, Ty. III, the example offered here
is, unquestionably, the finest quality used example of the 1857 One Cent
Type III we have ever had the pleasure to offer in our auctions, as
every aspect of the stamp is the exact opposite of what is normally
encountered on this rare and challenging stamp, boasting absolutely
flawless centering amid uncharacteristically large margins, its color is
especially deep and its impression incredibly detailed on unusually bright
paper, even its perforations are full and intact which is a most uncommon
occurrence on any perf. 15 issue, light central strike of a rimless grid
cancel, extremely fine; a true condition rarity in this gem condition; 2002
PF certificate for a horizontal pair, this being the right stamp. (Image) |

values, let alone the scarce Ty. III, rich fresh color and a crisp detailed
impression, light ms. cancel, tiny crease at left, otherwise extremely
fine. (Image) |

 #23, 1c Blue, Ty. IV, an extraordinarily choice
example of one of the most difficult 19th century stamps to find in mint
condition, possessing fantastic centering, especially considering that the
vast majority of examples are noticeably off center, deep intense color and
a razor-sharp impression, full original gum that is only lightly hinged,
the accompanying certificate mentions faint toning at bottom right which is
practically undetectable and unworthy of mention in our opinion, still an
extremely fine example which, in our opinion, ranks among the finest known
still retaining their original gum; 2002 PF certificate. (Image) |

centered within them, deep luxuriant color and a strong impression on fresh
white paper, light town c.d.s. pmks., extremely fine; a rare stamp in this
impressive quality; 2000 PSE certificate.

set images, perforated all around but scissors separated at right so that
designs are complete, full o.g., lightly hinged, wonderfully fresh and fine
for this, being one of the few blocks yet remaining intact; 1994 PF

 #26a, 3c Dull red, Ty. IIa, top sheet-margin mint
block of four, this type is distinguished from the more common Type II by
having the side frame lines broken between each design rather than being
continuous, vertical multiples are especially useful in showing this type
(top and bottom margin examples of normal Type II are frequently mistaken
for Type IIa), only two plates were used for these and Carroll Chase
considers them to be actually scarcer than the perforated Type I stamps
despite the drastically lesser catalog value assigned to this type, o.g.,
h.r., fine and an exceptionally elusive block.

 #26a, 3c Dull red, Ty. IIa, an impressive used
example of this terribly difficult stamp to find in premium condition,

most uncharacteristic, lovely rich color and impression on bright crisp
paper, wonderfully postmarked with a light strike of a blue Gettysberg, Pa.
c.d.s., extremely fine; 1997 PF certificate.

#25-26a |
#25-26, 3c Dull red, Ty. I and II, extensive study of stamps and
covers, collection of a total of over 140 stamps including some in
various multiples and 120 covers, of these there are nine used singles and
two used pairs, plus 35 covers that have perforated Type I stamps printed
from the plates that were used for the imperforate issues, there are a few
stamps that are Type IIa, though these are difficult to distinguish from
top or bottom row Type II stamps, the rest are the normal Type II, among
these latter we note mint and unused blocks of four and a mint block of
twelve (4x3), majority of the stamps are used singles and pairs collected
for their shades, varieties and cancellations, the covers include a wide
range of town markings, plus some advertising covers and other better
usages, throughout in all of the types plating notations are made where
possible, but these are much more difficult to plate than the imperforates,
condition is mixed as would be expected in a hoard such as this but there
are many fine-very fine items and an excellent collection for the student
of this issue. |

 #27, 5c Brick red, Ty. I, an absolutely gorgeous
used example, being in a quality which places it among the finest
available, possessing essentially perfect centering amid
uncharacteristically large margins, so large in fact that no portion of the
design is impinged by perforations, gloriously rich color and perhaps the
strongest impression we have ever encountered on a Five Cent Brick red,
bright paper as well, fully intact perforations, all wonderfully postmarked
with a very light and neat town c.d.s., extremely fine; a lovely used gem
for the finest collection; 2002 PF certificate.
