MARGINS MAY BE CLOSE OR TOUCHING, BUT WILL NOT CUT DESIGN.VERY GOOD - STAMPS ARE SO GRADED EITHER BY REASON OF GENERAL APPEARANCE OF

IMPERFECT CENTERING OR A FAULT.At all times any faults such as a crease, tear, thin spot, etc. will be specifically described. In collection lots and balances the conditiondescribed is meant to indicate the overall average to be found. Examples above and below the condition listed can be expected.Typically we do not describe minor perforation separations on blocks or sheets as these are quite normal and are not grounds for theirreturn. In regard to covers, torn or partially missing black flaps, light filing folds and small edge tears, unless they affect the adhesiveor markings, are not justification for the return of a lot.

CATALOGS USEDThe catalog numbers and catalog values of the contents of the lots, given in the descriptions, are from the Scott Standard PostageStamp Catalogue, Volumes 1-6, 2015 editions, and the 2015 Scott Specialized Catalogue of U.S. Stamps and Covers. Where, byreason of the Scott Catalog not listing items in a lot, another catalog is used, and it will be named in the description of the lot.

ESTIMATESIf an Estimated cash value is given, it is shown in the descriptions with the abbreviation “Est.” Estimates, which are in United Statesdollars, are used when a lot is large or when it is not listed in the standard catalogs. Our estimates are typically conservative and thelots invariably realize in the estimate ranges or higher.

Among thestamps received by this exchange were 15c, 24c and 30c 1869 issue with inverted centers, 1c and 2c Pan-Americans withinverted centers and other varieties missing from the nations collection. In addition to the above imperforate gummed examplesexist of the 2c denomination five different shades, the 4c in eleven shades and the 5c in thirteen shades and these should not beconfused with the 56 sets of imperforates.

1851 TWELVE PENCE BLACK ON LAID PAPER

A Sound Original Gum Example of this Rarity

144 H #3, 1851 12c Black on laid paper, a beautiful mint example of this legendary classicrarity, brilliantly fresh and crisp overall, with intense color and a highly detailedimpression, four large and well balanced margins, disturbed original gum, very fine andchoice.

The Twelve Pence Black of Canada has an interesting history which accounts for its iconicstatus. The original die was engraved by Alfred Jones and the stamps were printed by Rawdon,Wright, Hatch & Edison - the printers of the 1847 first issues of the United States.

A total of 51,000 stamps (255 sheets each of 200 subjects), along with a proof imprint sheet,were shipped to Canadian postal authorities on May 14, 1851. However, the stamp proved tobe quite unpopular with the public due to its limited usage for specific postal rates to distantdestinations. Hence it saw limited distribution, with shipments being sent to only eighteen PostOffices. Only a mere 1,450 stamps were ever sold in over three and a half years of use. Allremaining stamps were destroyed on May 1, 1857.

A pleasing quality original gum example of one of the world’s rarest stamps. Mintexamples, especially sound and with original gum, are far more rare than used copies.Accompanied by 1977 BPA and 1980 and 2015 PF certificates (Unitrade C$300,000.00).Ex-General Robert Gill (Robson Lowe, October, 1965) and The Consort Collection (StanleyGibbons, November 1977).

3.2.2 Many items are of an age or nature which precludes their being in perfectcondition and some descriptions in the catalogue or given by way of conditionreport make reference to damage and/or restoration. We provide this informationfor guidance only and the absence of such a reference does not imply that an itemis free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects implythe absence of any others.

3.2.3 Other than as set out in clause 5.10, and in the absence of fraud, neither theSeller nor we, nor any of our employees or agents, are responsible for thecorrectness of any statement as to the authorship, origin, date, age, attribution,genuineness or provenance of any Lot nor for any other errors of description or forany faults or defects in any Lot.

3.4.2 Notice of a request for an expert opinion or Certificate of Authenticity mustgive the reason why such opinion is required and specify the identity of yourproposed expert which will be subject to agreement by us.
