1861-67 Issues, Stamps (#1)

Item # Description Price Picture
5437 #65, fine, bearing a VF-XF SOTN strike of scarce New York City segmented 6-point star in circle killer (Skinner-Eno ST-6P variety, Whitfield 3435). Terrific! SOLD
5333 #65, fine, sound, with XF-superb SOTN strike of BOSTON, MA shield patriotic killer (Skinner-Eno PS-ST 10). An impressive fancy cancel. $125
5348 #65, fine, sound, with an XF SOTN strike of Brattleboro, VT negative letters DK in grid killer representing the initials of postmaster Daniel Kellogg (Skinner-Eno LC-D 1), a wonderful and desirable fancy cancel. $95
5300 #65, F-VF, SE at left, tiny faults, canceled by a VF-XF strike of FANCY honeycomb cancel of AMHERST, MASS (Skinner-Eno GE-M 12). $40
5267 #65, XF, large margins, reperforated at R, canceled by a VF+ SOTN strike of negative patriotic shield in ring killer, Skinner-Eno PS-FC 35, but fancier and more detailed than pictured in the Skinner-Eno tracing. Terrific item. $75
5247 #65, XF, large even margins, canceled by a VF strike of small starred patriotic shield of Oriskany, NY (Skinner-Eno PS-ST 57). But for a couple blunted perfs at right, stamp is entirely sound and beautiful. $45
5214 #65, VF, small faults, canceled by an XF-Superb strike of very scarce New York City geometric killer composed of two concentric octagons around a small Maltese cross (Skinner-Eno GE-H 11). Stunning.

SOLD

5185 #65, fine, canceled by a VF+ strike of negative blue "UV" fancy killer from the University of Virginia (Skinner-Eno LC-U 3a). Stamp has a couple blunted perfs at left but is otherwise sound. $40
5178 #65, fine, canceled by an XF SOTN strike of BEVERLY, MA large PAID in horizontal grid killer. Stamp with tiny corner crease at bottom left. $25
5125 #88, E grill, fine, bearing an XF SOTN strike of PUTNAM, CT fancy geometric killer, Skinner-Eno GE-E 1. Stamp has tiny pre-printing crease at lower left, is otherwise sound and fresh.

SOLD

4557 #65, VF, perf faults at top, canceled by a VF strike of fancy blue grid carved into the shape of a patriotic shield, unlisted in Skinner-Eno.  (HCS) $30
4556 #65, fine, sound, bearing an XF SOTN strike of unusual geometric killer (Whitfield 2651, similar to S-E GE-H 2) composed of negative Maltese cross in internal pentagram surrounded by dual overlaid pentagrams. Probable NYC.  (HCS) $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
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
4558 #94, VF+ right straddle margin copy canceled by a VF-XF SOTN strike of word PAID surrounding an entwined star with central star of Bonds Village, MA (S-E ST-C 18). Stamp has small bleach spot at left.  A highly desirable and very scarce PAID fancy killer.  (HCS) $95
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

4055 #94, fine left margin SE block of 4, well impressed grills, each stamp canceled by small blue 8-wedge killer, trivial faults, no separations. Scarce and attractive multiple.

SOLD

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. 2011 Scott catalog of $525 irrelevant for this item.  2003 PSE certificate states "it is genuine used, with Target cancel." $1000
513 #65, VF, large stamp, bearing an XF SOTN strike of fancy pointed "X" geometric cancellation, origin unknown. Very eye catching. $40
