Scott #J1 Printing 2, AFA #P1.2, AFA Plate II [1902 1 cent Postage Due] Mint with XF centering, but has very heavy hinge remnant and a small amount of album page adhesion (i.e. transfer of printed design from the album page to the back of the stamp). Despite those problems, this looks great from the front -- there are no other defects. AFA Plates I and II both have the "small dot over I of DIEN"; elsewhere all "small dot" stamps are often described as Plate I. This second printing is Dark Grayish Blue on Off-White Paper. (The first printing of this stamp, AFA Plate I, also with the dot, is Dark Indigo Blue on Bright White Paper.) Most use of these stamps was on the back of envelopes, without cancellation; canceled examples are much scarcer than uncanceled (no gum). Only 20,000 of the 70,300 1 Cent stamps are from this Printing 2, but the catalog values do not properly represent that scarcity. Attractive examples are hard to find. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #J2 Plate II [1902 4 cent Postage Due, no dot over I of DIEN] Mint hinged with Superb centering, but with a tiny thin speck (you will probably need a 10x magnifier to see it). Such a beautiful example that perhaps the thin speck can be excused or forgotten. Otherwise a Mint Hinged example with this centering would be $36. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #J4 Plate II [1902 10 cent Postage Due, no dot over I of DIEN] Mint hinged with XF centering, but with a small thin in the hinge area. Very attractive with great centering, bright color and paper, and excellent perforations. Otherwise a Mint Hinged example with this centering of Plate II (no dot) would be $54. ACTUAL item. |

J7 [1905 30 bit Postage Due] (Mint) Uncanceled / Unused with VF+ centering. Either Mint no gum or Used without cancellation. A large percentage of these postage due stamps were used on envelopes containing incoming shipping documents (posted from ships in the harbor to local merchants) and those envelopes were very often not canceled. The stamps are perfectly fine, but cannot really be called Mint or Used. I price such no-gum DWI postage due stamps at a fraction of the (lower) Mint value. If Hint Hinged with gum this centering would be $14 and if Used with proper cancellations it would be $25. Very fresh and attractive. ACTUAL item. |
