#1, 5c Red brown, a magnificently fresh and
choice mint example, being in a quality that is seldom encountered on this
classic issue, possessing a wonderful overall brilliance, with deep
luxuriant color and a highly detailed impression on bright paper, four
large margins, incredibly clean full o.g. that has been only lightly
hinged, extremely fine; an extraordinarily rare stamp to find both in this
premium condition and still retaining its full original gum, in fact
this is one of the most pristine mint examples of the Five Cent 1847
Issue we have ever offered; 1966 and 1996 PF certificates.(Image)

excellent clarity of impression, wonderfully postmarked with a choice
complete strike of a straightline "PAID" cancel in deep blue, extremely

#2, 10c Black, an exceedingly rare mint example,
possessing incredibly intense color and a superb prooflike impression on
fresh paper still retaining its original overall bluing, completely free of
any of the faults that affect most existing mint copies, full to large
margins all around, part o.g., very fine; any certified mint/unused example
of the Ten Cent 1847 Issue is an important rarity, but especially so in
this choice fault-free condition and still retaining a portion of its
original gum; 1969 PF certificate.(Image)

#5, 1c Blue, Ty. I, position 7R1E, exceptionally
well margined, with uniformly large margins on three sides, fourth margin
at bottom just touching extreme lower portions of plumes and scrolls,
sumptuously rich color and a highly detailed impression on bright fresh
paper, beautifully postmarked with an unobtrusive circular grid in deep
blue, plus there is a portion of a black cancel at top which is likely to
be part of a French decimes handstamp, few small thin spots which have been
expertly filled, otherwise very fine. An especially handsome appearing
example of one of the rarest and most sought-after classic United States
stamps. One position, the legendary position 7R1E, provides the philatelic
world with the only full Type I design as originally intended, a
characteristic no other One Cent imperforate displays. Less than 100
examples of this rarity exist, virtually all of which are used. Very few
are found with the overall eye-appealing qualities that this stamp
possesses - wide margins allowing for easy identification of the Ty. I
characteristics, strong rich color, excellent clarity of impression and
neatly cancelled so that no portion of the postmarks obscure the important
design factors. A large number of the recorded examples of Scott #5 have
faults ranging from rather minor to severe. The thin spots on this stamp
are quite small and none affect its overall exceptional appearance. These
trivial thins have been so expertly filled that they have, in fact, been
overlooked in most past auction descriptions. Accompanied by a 1988 PF
certificate.(Image)

#5A, 1c Blue, Ty. Ib, positions 4-5R1E, an
enormously rare unused horizontal pair, regummed, featuring very large
margins both at top (partial sheet margin) and at bottom, left margin just
cutting, while margin at right is close but clear, brilliantly fresh and
vibrant color, outstanding impressions showing the Ty. Ib design
characteristics exceedingly well, left stamp with tiny thin spot, right
stamp with spot at top, a corner crease at top right (in sheet margin only)
and an internal horizontal crease/wrinkle at right, none of which affect
this pair's very fine and appealing appearance; an important One Cent Blue
imperforate multiple, as very few Ty. Ib multiples exist unused in any
condition; 1999 PSE certificate.(Image)

#5A, 1c Blue, Ty. Ib, position 6R1E, four large
to mostly enormous margins, showing portions of the adjoining stamps on
three sides, just a bit closer at top right, distinctive "powder blue"
color typical of the plate one early printings, although this stamp's color
is stronger than usual, detailed impression showing the Type Ib design
characteristics wonderfully well, neat and crisply struck New York town
c.d.s., extremely fine; a marvelously choice used example of the One
Cent Blue imperforate stamp from one of the positions that produced the
best examples of the Type Ib design; 1986 and 1992 PF certificates;

cutting (although not objectionably and is actually quite well balanced),
deep luxuriant color and a strong detailed impression, sound, with trace of
o.g. (cataloged as a no gum example), fine; one of the most elusive stamps
in United States philately to find unused, particularly sound and
certified; 1997 PF certificate.(Image)

#6, 1c Blue, Ty. Ia, position 96L4, a lovely used
example of this important classic rarity, featuring mostly large margins
all around, just barely touching at bottom left, gorgeous intense Plate 4
color and an incredibly detailed impression which is wonderfully contrasted
by its bright white paper, only very lightly cancelled by a black town
c.d.s. and a trace of a red postmark at bottom left, very fine and
exceptionally choice for this; the extreme rarity of Type Ia stamps is due
to the fact that only 18 of the 20 positions on the bottom row of plate 4
sheets (200 subjects) produced this distinctive type, which shows a full
design at bottom; 1984 PF certificate.(Image)
