“AUGUST” 1861 FIRST DESIGN ISSUES

71

71 � #55, 1c Indigo “August”, with black target cancel in the top left corner, but also pos-sessing o.g. (disturbed), fresh with intense characteristic “August” color and impression,quite well centered when compared to the other existing copies (all known examplesare centered slightly into the top perforations), one short perf. at bottom, another fre-quent occurrence on this issue, nearly very fine for this very rare stamp.

It is believed that a total of 24 copies exist of the One Cent First Design or so-called “Au-gust” Issue. Of this total 22 are uncancelled including one housed in the New York Pub-lic Library collection. Only two are cancelled, both with target cancels as found here.This stamp was first certified in 1943 by the APS (before Philatelic Foundation was es-tablished) and stated that the cancel was an experimental cancel. Subsequently the Phil-atelic Foundation denied that it was an experimental cancellation but in its most recentopinion has declined opinion “as to what the cancellation represents.” The most recentthinking is that the target cancel was used as a control marking for samples of the “Pre-miere Gravure” printings. Other examples are found on one 5c and one 90c First Designswith similar target cancels and a 12c is known with a manuscript “New, “ which is be-lieved to be a similar control. Regardless of the exact nature of the cancel it is not be-lieved to be fraudulent and its precise significance seems to have been lost fromhistorical records. A great rarity of one of the rarest “August” issues. Scott catalogvalue for the more common mint examples is $50,000.00. Accompanied by 1943 APS and1992 and 2000 PF certificates.

PHILIPPINES

465 � #217A, 10c Brown, Ty. II, an amazingly well centered used example of this scarcer type,it also has a vertical watermark which is not differentiated from the horiz. watermark asit is in the basic unoverprinted stamp, margins are large and balanced all around withfull even perforations, fresh color and detailed impression, extremely fine and exceed-ingly choice; accompanied by 2013 PSE certificate (XF-Superb 95); SMQ does not assignvalues to the Bureau issues of the Philippines but by comparison the more common un-overprinted 10c Ty.
