Banknote Stamps (#1)

Item # Description Price Picture
5532 #136, XF, light crease just visible in fluid, bearing a superb SOTN strike of intricate fancy blue Chicago geometric killer, listed in Berg as square of right triangles, SRT-1 (p. 206).  An impressive stamp and fancy cancel. $50
5435 #156, F-VF, canceled by an XF-superb SOTN strike of the Leominster, MA "stove pipe" fancy killer (Cole GCR-105), the cancel perfectly framing Franklin's portrait. Stamp with corner crease at bottom right. Great eye appeal! $40
5340 #157, VF+, sound, bearing an XF SOTN strike of red geometric killer of unknown origin. A beautiful stamp with color cancellation. SOLD
5341 #157, F-VF, tall top margin copy, small corner crease at top left, canceled by a gem SOTN strike of outline 5-point star in circle fancy killer used on New York City local delivery mail. An impressive, eye catch stamp. $45
5292 #212, VF, large margins, canceled by an XF strike of unusual DAY killer, probably Whitfield 4675, New York, possibly railroad-related. Impressive and quite attractive. SOLD
4279 #134, F-VF strip of three, each stamp showing clear vertically split grill, left two stamps sound, right stamp with 1/4 inch tear at bottom. Scarce multiple.  (Scott 2011 value $690+.) $250
4967 #136, VF-XF, sound H grill, large margins, tall copy, canceled by an XF strike of blue ST. JOSEPH, MO negative shield fancy killer (Whitfield 1291). A Beautiful stamp and cancellation. SOLD
4154 #137, F-VF+, sound, crisp perfs all around, split grill variety. The left edge of the grill is clearly visible in the cancellation and the right edge is visible along the left margin of the stamp, verifying the split. Scarce.  2009 Philatelic Foundation certificate ("It is genuine"), graded F-VF 75. $450
4048 #137, fine, clear partial grill, black cork killer. Stamp has sealed tear and horizontal crease. Nice space filler for a difficult stamp. $50
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. $700
4550 #141, F-VF, partial H grill, moderate cork cancel, a few minor wrinkles that only appear as stamp dries in fluid. Scarce stamp. 2009 PFC ("It is genuine, with light creases"). $450
5023 #156, wide SE at right showing another stamp, bearing an XF SOTN strike of blue Chicago geometric fancy killer (Berg GEO-46).  Pretty. $30
5005 #156, F-VF+ strip of three, sound, bearing three VF strikes of circular negative letter H killer. Very attractive strip.

SOLD

4467 #182, fine, thin, canceled by a superb SOTN strike of intense indigo negative numeral 7 in grid killer of Washington, DC (Whitfield 6458), a very scarce numeral killer.  (HCS) $40
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.
