 #46, 30c Yellow orange reprint, without gum as
issued, an incredibly select example of this reprint rarity, possessing
outstanding centering amid extravagantly large margins which are most
uncharacteristic, with its perforations clearing the design all around
which, in our opinion, occurs on probably less than 10% of the 480 sold,
radiantly rich color, extremely fine; a handsome stamp; 1974, 1989 and 2002
PF certificates; ex-Lessin. (Image) |

 #61, 30c Red orange "August", a fabulously fresh
example of this immensely rare stamp, of which less than 30 examples are
known to exist, possessing an overall brilliance and freshness few
other examples enjoy, with truly breathtaking color, while centered
slightly to left this is far better centered than the majority, full o.g.
which many copies no longer retain, fully intact perforations as well, the
stamp does have a vertical crease which is a common characteristic of most
existing copies due to the very frail nature of the "August" papers, the
crease, which is barely visible from the face, ends in small tears at both
top and bottom, however the very fine and choice appearance of this rarity
is not affected in any way; an infrequent opportunity to acquire one of the
great rarities in U.S. philately at an affordable price; 1991 PF
certificate; ex-Keenan. (Image) |

example, deeply rich color and a sharp impression, full original gum, some
natural creasing which is not unusual for this, one of which ends in a
small tear, tiny gum stain at bottom, fine appearance.

numeral postmark at top left, tiny closed edge tear, extremely fine
appearance; 2006 PF certificate. (Image) |
