1861-67 Issues, Stamps (#1)

Item # Description Price Picture
4959 #63, fine, fresh color and sound, bearing an XF-superb SOTN strike of small outline star with central dot killer, similar to Whitfield 3147. Pretty.  Ex-Hubert Skinner.  (HCS) $45
4765 #78a gray lilac, fine, bearing a superb SOTN strike of New York City fancy geometric killer, Skinner-Eno GE-E 33 (Skinner NYFM 67-5), stamp with a very small shallow thin.  A wonderful fancy cancel on high value issue.

SOLD

4630 #65, F-VF, tied on piece by a superb strike of Masonic square and compass in circle killer (Skinner-Eno FR-M4c 16) with matching CHARLESTOWN, N.H. postmark. A gem, early example of this killer. $100
4496 #92, F+ F grill stamp, bearing an XF-superb strike of fancy script letter G in circle killer of Greenfield, MASS (Skinner-Eno LS-G 7). Stamp has single nibbed perf at left, is otherwise sound and fresh.  This stamp is rarely seen with a nice fancy cancel.  (HCS) SOLD
4497 #65, F-VF, fresh and sound, bearing a superb SOTN strike of rare geometric, compass rose style fancy killer (Skinner-Eno GE-P 52). Although unattributed in Skinner-Eno, Skinner himself showed this stamp with a tracing of a MAR 29 New York City postmark.  Given this and the stylistic similarity of this fancy killer to other ones from New York City, I believe this to be a rare New York City killer.  (HCS) SOLD
4566 #65, sound, fine SE copy, canceled by a VF-XF strike of popular negative LINCOLN and stars mourning patriotic killer of Albany, NY (Skinner-Eno LC-NP 15a).  (HCS) SOLD
4565 #65, avg-fine, tiny corner crease at lower left, bearing a superb SOTN of negative letters PO ("post office") in circle killer of Utica, NY (Skinner-Eno LC-P 14). Gem fancy cancel.  (HCS) $95
4571 #65, fine, small faults, canceled by an XF SOTN strike of very scarce Chattanooga, TN floral killer, Skinner-Eno PP-Fl 5, a finer strike than illustrated in the book's tracing.  (HCS) SOLD
4349 #65, VF left wing margin copy canceled by a perfect SOTN strike of shield fancy cancel of Patterson, NJ (Skinner-Eno PS-ST 20). Stamp has pressed out crease. Great cancellation item.

SOLD

4573 #65, VF+ sound stamp, canceled by an XF strike of ultramarine negative letters CV of Charlottesville, VA (Skinner-Eno LC-C 4). Pretty stamp and scarce cancel.  (HCS)

SOLD

4129 # 63, fine, canceled by two strikes, including one XF strike of rare fancy patriotic flag/single star and stripes bunting killer (Skinner-Eno PT-F29).  Stamp has single short perf at right, is otherwise sound. $95
2217 #63, XF, canceled by a SOTN concentric ring killer, bright and fresh used copy, tiny faults, including 3 blunted perfs at left and tiny corner crease, almost a perf crease, at UR. Very pretty. SOLD
4064 #65, fine, bearing a superb SOTN strike of detailed entwined hearts in circle killer (Skinner-Eno PH-H 28). A rare and spectacular fancy cancel on the 3 cent 1861 issue.  An incredible stamp despite perf faults at left and top (back scan).

SOLD

4052 #94, a spectacular JUMBO left straddle margin SE stamp of immense proportions, the biggest I've ever encountered. Stamp canceled by an XF strike of representational killer, unlisted in references. Two cc at UL and UR, do not detract from this incredible stamp.  WOW! $100
1761 #86, XF-S jumbo stamp, E grill, light SOTN target killer. (See enlarged scan.)  Stamp removed from small local drop cover of Plattsburgh, NY. A sound GEM stamp, extremely scarce for this issue with such large margins and nice centering. 2003 Scott catalog of $450 irrelevant for this item.  2003 PSE certificate states "it is genuine used, with Target cancel." $1250
419 #63, fine, light corner crease, on piece with #65, bearing a spectacular SOTN strike of large, New York City fancy wedge cancellation, unlisted in Skinner-Eno. SOLD n419.jpg (8340 bytes)
