Show Your US 1851-57 Imperforate Stamps

Stan -

There is some red cancel ink in the 'R' of 'THREE', making me think that the 'P' is actually a 'B'. Of course, stray ink can make anything look like anything else.

Stan --

Your stamp with the black JUN 5 Providence, RI (?) cds is confirmed as 5L1L -- which is one of only 2 misplaced A reliefs in the top row of plate 1L.

Just another #10A.

Unplated. Small scissors cut at bottom left.

Some people hate pen cancels. This one is a deep, dark blue - and I don't hate it one bit.

I think this is a beautiful stamp.

Hammered today at $24,000 plus 18% to the buyer, sales tax (if any) and shipping or north of $28,300.00.

Here is a nice CDS cancelled 11A plated to 52R2L by my mentor/friend.

Posting in order for members to see the differences between 10A & 11A stamps.

Here is another 10A for comparisons purposes.

Stan, the strip of 3 1c Franklins is positions 42-44R2.

Can you send me a 1200 dpi image of the strip for the database?

Just received this pretty copy of position 97L1L

That's a beautiful double transfer, stallzer!

Sharing this beauty today.

1851, 1c, positions 12-14L2 on cover.
BIG CRACK variety. Huge margins.

I think I'd like to make a puzzle out of this to compliment my 3c puzzle.

Also a single showing the plate crack.

This would be a cool puzzle:

What a lovely piece! Thanks for posting it Stan


Thanks CC !

stallzer - She really is a beauty, isn't she? Nice 97L1L!
Jaxom - 1c Cracked Plate Strip - Image sent via email - Sorry for the delay

All - sharing another beauty -
I plated this stamp this afternoon as 61R1L - Scott #11A
with a blue, Norwich, CT reversed "PAID" in grid cancellation.

And a 1988 Philatelic Foundation certificate (0190802)
Stating this is a genuine, orange brown, #10. (Its not.)

It is a beautiful example of this position.
Nice clear guide dot, great early impression.
1852 Brownish Carmine (possibly, with more brown)

I used my Ott Light and I compared it to certified (Amonette Color Charts),
but the blue cancel significantly disrupts any easy comparison.

Enjoy!

risny - l was looking at the 1¢ Franklin you posted on 11/25/2022. I don't see much to go on other than the guide dot, and it is hard to distinguish it from the cancel. From what I can discern though, 47R1E looks to be a good match. Besides the guide dot match, there is a faint dot/blur in the "G" of postage that is also visible in the 46-48R1E strip from Siegel sale 1144. The left side ornaments also match well as does the blur in the top margin.

Greetings all. Hope your holidays are going well. I think I have a connection with position 81R3 as I have randomly acquired 5 decent copies of the position over the past year. It's an interesting way to see/display color variations just need to figure out the colors. Anywho, just sharing.
