 #1789B, 15c John Paul Jones, perforated 12, a
pristine top left corner sheet-margin example of this important modern
rarity, well centered, unblemished o.g., n.h., extremely fine; to date,
only four sheets of 50 each (200 stamps) have been reported of the
perforated 12 variety, making this one of the rarest stamps in United

a sheet first discovered in 1989; photocopy of a 1989 PF certificate for
the original intact pane of fifty. (Image) |

of 100, strong color, o.g. (disturbed on bottom row), several stamps n.h.,
some hinge reinforcing, minor selvage faults as expected on a sheet this
early, right stamp in the eighth row with nick in right margin, a fine
example of this very rare sheet, being one of only a few sheets of any Bank

 #230, 1c Columbian, imprint, letter "J" and plate
"No. 49" pane of 100, wonderfully bright and fresh, o.g., there are tiny
hinge sliver reinforcements in the bottom row and in the selvage, otherwise
never hinged (both plate blocks cataloged as hinged), small selvage thin
above the two left stamps in the top row, the bottom right stamp with small
facial scuff, fine-very fine; to find this stamp still in its original full
pane of 100 stamps is quite a challenge.
