Great Britain Scott #43 4d Intense Vermillion Plate 12 (1865 issue) VF stamp with VF VERTICAL OVAL "C51" cancellation used at St. Thomas. Wonderful color and sharp cancellation strike.

RMS 1 [1875 Ten Cent Royal Mail Steam Packet Company] Mint Superb, lightly hinged with color much brighter than usually seen.

Scott #RFV1 [1920 "VIRGIN ISLANDS 4 CTS." surcharge on 2 cent Playing Card Revenue] Used VF example in wonderful quality. No sign of a crease which is usually found on these stamps. This is an extremely scarce stamp, especially without a crease, and is undervalued in Scott; a web search and a check of the "usual sources" for such items found NONE available as of this writing. Collectors of mint stamps please note that this stamp is apparently not known mint.

Scott #RFV2 [1926 "VIRGIN ISLANDS 4 cts." surcharge on (8 cent) "A" rouletted Playing Card Revenue] Used F-VF example with the usual and expected crease, but the crease is very hard to see. Very light cancellation. This is scarce stamp and is undervalued in Scott. Collectors of mint stamps please note that this stamp is apparently not known mint.

235281

Scott #RFV3 [1934 "VIRGIN ISLANDS 4 cts." surcharge on (8 cent) "A" perforated Playing Card Revenue] Used Fine example without the crease that is usually found on these stamps. Very light cancellation. This is a very scarce stamp and is undervalued in Scott; in 2006 Scott did not even show a picture of it. It is interesting to not that the underlying perforated stamp was not issued in the U.S. without the overprint.

235282

HAPAG #1/2 1955 Official Reprint. Perforated 11.5 x 10 on bright white paper with thin white gum and lozenge watermark. NH VF lower left corner sheet margin example. Accompanied by an April 1956 letter from the United States Navigation Co., Inc. presenting the stamp to a collector -- this company was the U.S. agent for HAPAG. The reprint is quite difficult to obtain, but the letter must be rare.

235283

Clara Rothe CUARTO (4) REALES Green FORGERY Type I, believed to be made for stamp packets by the Spiro Brothers (in operation approximately 1864-1880). Perforated 12.5 (R/T says Perf 13 are known but that they are usually found imperforate) with usual rectangle of dots bogus cancellation, typical of Spiro work. Piece missing from top margin, thin, etc., but still rarely seen forgery.

Scott #1 and 4 from the 1977 "KPK 90" souvenir card. Officially sanctioned photolithography reprints from photo images of the original sheets. 3 Cent with burelage and 4 Cent with simulated perforations. Though these should not be scarce, they are very hard to find if you are seeking a set.

235315

1911 REDDISH LILAC. Mint F-VF+ centered, but with one missing perforation and no gum. This color is very distinctive and completely different than the brownish red violet color of all the perforated 1911 seals I have seen.

1911 PROOF in Dark Violet and Black on thick chalk-coated paper, with gum. Mint Superb with huge margins. This is listed in the Christmas Seal catalog with an absurdly low value; this is the only example I have recorded seeing in 37 years. Rare and beautiful!

U.S. Scott #504 5-cent pair and #554 2-cent used on (apparently) September 1923 piece with undated, boxed, magenta "SAINT THOMAS, / V.I." cancellations. Seldom seen postmark (would normally only have been used on parcel, third class, and perhaps registered mail). Very uncommon combination of two different Washington head issues.

Seldom seen postmark (would normally only have been used on parcel, third class, and perhaps registered mail). Very unusual combination of engraved and offset issues.

234698

Scott #1 1978 Official Reprint prepared from the original plate, with the original burelage, for volume II of the DWI Mails book. The sheets of 100 were divided into quarters and placed into the books, one quarter per book; all four quarters can be found. The smaller-size marginal number indicates into which volume number the sheet was placed. Quarter sheet, as issued. This offering is for a random quarter sheet position (this standard image shows a quarter sheet from the lower right position as a generic illustration). Only the lower right position includes the large number; every position bears a different small number. If you require a particular position, please inquire for availability.

233985

5 Francs PARTIAL DIAMOND PERFORATION (DOUBLE PERFORATION) of the three right-most top and bottom horizontal teeth. (The perforation comb appears to have perforated one column of stamps at a time; it did not fully advance to the next column, thus cutting out some of the already-cut perforations.) Mint F-VF LH. The only example of such an error that I can recall seeing on a DWI revenue stamp.

1907 VF on piece with clear St. Thomas 8 December 1907 postmark. Excellent quality of the rarest DWI seal and one of the rarest of all official Scandinavian Christmas seals.
