1 24 Used Fine. Three nice margins with a tight fourth at the top. Gorgeous blue color with light unobtrusive cancel. One blind perf at bottom; o/w, this margin copy is fresh, sound and faultfree. 60.00 10.50 (R)
2 29 Used Fine. Typical tightly centered example of this .05 Jefferson Type I issue of 1859. Excellent color and contrast. Very reasonable cancel. One tiny well pressed crease at upper right corner and one short perf at top, mentioned strictly for accuracy; o/w, this very tough issue is sound and faultfree. All perfs along right side are there and are quite strong. This is mentioned only due to the appearance of the cancel in the scan. A very nice copy of a very difficult stamp. I can't remember the last time we offered one of these and do not know when we will again. Take a peek at this one. 425.00 100.00 671
3 65 Used SUPERB. Near perfectly centered example of this .03 Washington perf 12 issue of 1861. Sharp very deep blue fancy cancel a bonus. Super fresh and clean. Sound and faultfree in all respects. A multiple catalog value stamp for sure. 3.25 4.25 521

7 96 Used Fine. Neat example of this always difficult .10 Washington issue of 1868. What makes this one so neat is that it is an attached PAIR AND is super fresh and clean AND has gorgeous green color AND is sound and faultfree. Gotta take a look at this one. Very rare to find this fresh and clean and even more difficult to find as an attached pair. This is one of those that you have to see and feel to fully appreciate.
