 #7, 1c Blue, Ty. II, a marvelous gem mint
example, being in a quality that is surprisingly elusive to acquire,
possessing outstanding rich luxuriant color and impression, with four
exceptionally well balanced and large margins, unusually clean full o.g.
that has been lightly hinged, extremely fine; the catalog value of a single
in this premium condition will prove to be irrelevant; 1999 PF certificate;
ex-McCarthy. (Image) |

 #10, 3c Orange brown, margins range from just
touching the frame line at the bottom of the right side to a huge sheet
margin at bottom, gorgeous deep intense color and impression, full original
gum, never hinged, very fine; any mint copy of the 1851 Three Cent
Orange brown is very scarce, but to find one in this impressive never
hinged condition is truly challenging; 2001 PSE certificate for a strip of
seven, this being the bottom stamp. (Image) |
