Banknote Stamps (#1)

Item # Description Price Picture
178 #135, F-VF, sound, fresh stamp with gorgeous SOTN strike of bright RED 5-segment radial circle of wedges cancel. A lovely stamp with a scarce quality color cancellation on a grilled issue.

SOLD

414 #135, VF and sound, bearing a VF-XF strike of a large black shield cancellation (unlisted in Cole), clear I grill impression. A striking cancellation. $95
1320 #137, VF, BR SE arrow margin copy, sound and fresh, H grill variety, with attractive 4-ring target cancellation. Nice copy of a difficult stamp. 2006 PFC states "genuine, slightly oxidized", an overly severe assessment of what I believe to be a simple color variety. $250
1791 #139, 10 cent H grill, XF and fresh with large margins bearing an XF, crisp strike of blue 4-ring target killer. (See enlarged scan.)  A terrific stamp rarely found thus. 2003 PSE certificate notes "small corner creases" that are essentially corner perf creases not affecting the design. $550
3914 #182, F-VF, canceled by an exceptional strike of blue Indian Princess HEAD TIDE, ME fancy killer (Cole JO-161), rare this nice. Stamp has tiny corner perf crease at UR, but is otherwise sound. Great fancy cancel. $200
3830 #145, fine, tiny corner crease, bearing an XF strike of large red "D ALL" (PAID ALL) used on circular mail to foreign destinations. Attractive and eye-catching.

SOLD

2964 #156, VF, small faults, bearing a SOTN strike of shield killer (Whitfield 1458, clearly the source of the tracing), that I believe to be a late state of Waterbury, CT shield (Rohloff Q-6). Very scarce and desirable. $50
2344 #156, XF, sound, bearing a SOTN strike of 3 ring blue target killer. Stamp is printed on intermediate to soft paper, used by the Continental Banknote Company during the late period of its contract. Attractive stamp. $15
2139 #156, XF, sound, bearing a F-VF strike of violet numeral 10 in circle killer. Pretty stamp. Scarce late use of rating mark as cancellation, especially in color.

SOLD

2140 #182, fine, bearing a superb SOTN strike of a numeral 5 killer (Cole NU-35). Late use of rating mark used as a cancellation and quite scarce on 1 cent values. Stamp has minor toning at UL corner, but is otherwise sound.

SOLD

2082 #182, F-VF strip of three, bearing 4 strikes of blue 7-bar squared fancy killer, very similar to Chicago blue killers. Right stamp has small fault. Nice multiple. $12 n2082.jpg (8556 bytes)
1969 #145, just fine, sound, bearing a neat blue 7-bar grid in circle killer (probably Cincinnati, OH) and red orange PAID ALL killer. A very attractive combination of color killers. $15
2221 #145, VF-XF, sound, blue grid killer, nice. $15
2691 #146, VF-XF, sound, bearing a scarce and beautiful SOTN strike of bright red geometric killer. Very attractive.  (Click on image for enlarged scan.) $40
2504 #146, F-VF, sound, cancelled by a VF strike of a red concentric ring killer. Attractive color cancellation. $15
1968 #157, F+, cancelled by a VF bright red orange PAID ALL, good looking, sound stamp.

SOLD

45 #146, XF strike of negative 5 bar/3 point shield fancy cancellation (unlisted Cole) on sound, fine stamp. $30
1339 #156, XF, sound jumbo copy bearing a dark blue wedges fancy cancellation in the shape of a bell. Pretty. $25
1307 #147, VF+, sound, cancelled by a VF strike of a red target cancellation and light Baltimore, MD foreign mail postmark. Very attractive red and green color contrast. $25
402 #158, fine, just in at top, bearing a SOTN strike of a reddish black broken Christian cross composed of many diagonal fine lines. Very unusual and unlisted. $15
