that has not been broken to extract select singles, brilliantly fresh and
crisp, prooflike color and impression, about as perfectly centered as this
tightly-spaced design allows, pristine o.g., barest trace of hinging,
extremely fine; a highly desirable 19th century multiple. (Image) |

 #59, 12c Black "August", centered a bit to top as
often found, intense color and impression on bright paper, part original
gum, small surface scrape at bottom which is almost unnoticeable, very fine
appearance for this great rarity; only fifteen Twelve Cent August issues
have been certified by the Philatelic Foundation (plus there is an
uncertified example housed in the New York Public Library) and the majority
have faults to some degree; an extremely rare opportunity to obtain one of
the rarest stamps in United States philately; signed W.H.C. (Warren H.
Colson) and accompanied by a clear 1976 PF certificate, as well as a 2002
PF certificate; ex-Lutwak. (Image) |

 #64, 3c Pink, a stunning used example of this
scarce and distinctive shade, featuring numerous physical qualities rarely
associated with this, including being superbly centered amid extravagantly
large margins which are most uncharacteristic, plus its color is in a
particularly intense and representative shade, prooflike impression on
especially bright paper, even its perforations are unusually full and
intact, all beautifully postmarked with a light and unobtrusive town
c.d.s., an extremely fine gem in every regard; clearly among the finest
quality used examples available of the 1861 Three Cent Pink; 2002 PF
certificate. (Image) |

 #65, 3c Rose, incredibly well centered within
large margins, wonderfully fresh, with prooflike impression and
exceptionally rich color with strong pink hues, in fact the pink untertones
are so strong that in 1990 this stamp received a P.F. certificate as the
Rose pink shade, o.g., n.h., extremely fine; whether this is a #64b or #65,
it is truly a gem stamp; 1990 PF certificate (as #64b) and 2002 PF
certificate (as #65). (Image) |

attractive and popular fancy cancel on a lovely advertising cover makes
this one of the finest examples available; ex-Grunin. (Image) |
