4 Used VF+ centered and appearance with neat, correct, light cancellation and brilliant color, but with tiny pinhole. Keep in mind that usually only the most beautiful stamps were pinned onto dealer display boards in the earliest days of philately. It is not unusual to find beautiful examples of pre-1880 stamps with a tiny pinhole. Otherwise, this stamp would easily fetch $900!

9 [1878 7 cent Red Lilac and Orange] NH SUPERB 3-strip in stunning quality. The stamps are from positions 78-80 in the sheet (there was only an A sheet). The Oval Types are 3-2-3 (though not of particular importance, this is the only possible normal-frame strip in the sheet which contains oval types 3-2-3). The left stamp has oval variety 64. The minor frame variations are consistent with the description by Nielsen, however, the center and right stamp show additional obvious varieties that I am surprised Nielsen did not mention: Center stamp with split upper left frame line and right stamp with missing portion of inner/thin lower right frame line. Wonderfully fresh and bright. [The 7 Cent Bicolor has a special distinction. The oval exists in four types; four copies of the mute master oval die were made and then the large 7 and the "7 CENTS." were each engraved, resulting in difference. This was the only Cents value that was manufactured in this way and of ALL the Danish and DWI bicolors, it is the only stamp which has variations of the large central number! Further information can be found in the Nielsen bicolor handbook (which I stock).]

9/9b [1878 7 cent Red Lilac and Orange, Normal and Inverted Frames] Mint F-VF bottom margin 6-block containing TWO INVERTED FRAMES in the two top right stamps. Positions 83-85/93-95. The Oval Types are 1-3-1/4-4-1. Position 94 (bottom center) has oval variety 99 (short bottom line in E of CENTS). The top left stamp has slight darkening due to oxidation, however, overall the color is otherwise true and fresh. The block has been sensibly reinforced, but the bottom margin has been reattached [the perforations were so weak on this issue that very few unreinforced blocks have survived]. Despite the catalog value premium for blocks and frame combinations, this is reasonably priced at only the break-up value of the stamps!

The block has been lightly and sensibly reinforced [the perforations were so weak on this issue that very few unreinforced blocks have survived]. Despite the catalog value premium for blocks and frame combinations, this is reasonably priced at only the break-up value of the stamps!

9/9b [1878 7 cent Red Lilac and Orange, Normal and Inverted Frames] NH SUPERB horizontal pair with INVERTED FRAME on right stamp. Wonderful example with post office fresh gum, perfect centering, and perfect perforations. GEM QUALITY. Facit 2010 value for NH combination pair, but with normal centering, is SEK 3000 = US$400 [7/10], however, this is significantly above that grade. This must be the nicest combination pair I have had in 37 years.

1a [1856 3 cent Dark Carmine with Yellow Gum] Mint VF (4 margins) with full yellow gum. A very nice example, with only very slight discoloration in lower left corner. (Keep in mind that the #1a yellow gum and #1 brown gum were official regumming because the original shipment #1b with white gum was damaged by sea water. Some minor discoloration is typical and expected.) Very fresh and bright example that will look great in any collection.
