CSA Scott #1 [1861 5c Bright Green Jefferson Davis] Appears to be Stone 2 based on the impression and appearance, but the color may mean it is Stone 1. Mint VF centering with large to huge margins. With full ORIGINAL GUM, minor hinge remnant, with usual irregular paper contours (with gum). Very small, minor thin in top margin; if the top margin were trimmed to remove the thin, one would still have a perfectly sound F-VF stamp. Mint examples are scarce with original gum and especially with such nice overall appearance. Wonderful color -- an outstanding example of CSA #1! (Scott 2021 $350 for Stone 2, Bright Green, but that value is for without gum!) |

CSA Scott #1b [1861 5c DARK GREEN Jefferson Davis] Stone 1 with PLATE VARIETY 1-1-v1 (CSA Handbook) "Cedilla C of CONFED... along with white shirt". Mint, FULL ORIGINAL GUM, ONLY VERY LIGHTLY HINGED. While the gum is obviously original, it is as about as nice as one could possibly expect on such a stamp. F-VF centering with one scroll just barely touching on the right side and bottom. Mint examples are scarce with original gum and especially with such nice overall appearance. Wonderful color and freshness -- an outstanding example of CSA #1! (Scott 2021 value $375 for Stone 1, Dark Green, without variety. 2012 CSA Handbook value is also $375 for Dark Green, without variety; the variety on the more common Light Green [$250] is valued at $350, thus $100 over the base value. That extrapolates to a value of $475 for this variety on Dark Green. However, all those values are for without gum -- this example has truly exceptional gum.) |

CSA Scott #3 [1862 2c LIGHT GREEN Andrew Jackson] Mint Superb with huge, even margins and clear impression (for this), without gum as typical. This is a stamp issue that is seldom found in even VF quality but this is a truly wonderful example in exceptionally nice quality. Certainly the nicest looking example I have had in 46 years and I do not recall seeing a nicer looking example anywhere else. (Scott 2021 value is $1000 for "VF" quality without gum; this is much nicer!) |

CSA Scott #7 (7L) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper] Used with VF centering, four full margins, and light grid (bars) cancellation in blue. Minor aging on back, but a very nice example of a stamp that is hard to find with such nice appearance. |

CSA Scott #7a (7Rb) [1862 5c DARK BLUE Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on LOCAL PAPER] Mint without gum. Lower left corner margin example, VF with top margin close, but clear, and right margin full; sheet margins left and bottom. Thin and two pressed out creases, but a very nice looking example. Scott separates the Dark Blue (7a) and the "Local Paper (Thick)" (no sub-number) as if they are two different stamps, but the Dark Blue is always on Local Paper and Local Paper is virtually always Thick Paper. (The "local, thick paper" is not so much always thick as it is rough, unsurfaced, and definitely not thin. Scott values the "Local Paper (Thick)" much higher [2021 $50] than the London Paper.) This example is about as thin as the thick paper gets, but it is local and is in the "thick range". Sheet margin examples of this color/paper are unusual. |

CSA Scott #7 (7Ra) [1862 5c LIGHT BLUE Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on LOCAL THICK PAPER] HORIZONTAL PAIR, Used with neat single-line manuscript cancellation. Left stamp cut into (see image), but right stamp has four full margins. No defects. Scott lists "Local Paper (Thick)" (no sub-number) with a 2021 value FOR SINGLES of $50 Mint (without gum) and $55 Used. While the manuscript cancellation looks okay to me, there can never be a guarantee of a manuscript cancel in a situation like this. This example is fairly LIGHT BLUE, which is rather unusual for this. A very nice item at a great price. |

CSA Scott #11c [1863 10c greenish blue Davis] Mint, lightly hinged with XF centering. Four huge, even margins. Full original gum in excellent quality; the gum has not affected the paper. While this is not a "scarce" stamp, it is an outstanding example! (Scott 2022 is $30 for typical NO-gum examples.) |

11d GREEN [1863 Archer and Daly Printing, Die A, 10 Cents Jefferson Davis w/o frame line] Used with two pen strokes, F-VF appearance with three large margins and in a little at right. Full height vertical crease through P of POSTAGE, likely with crack sealed by large hinge remnant. Large part original gum remains. Because Used is valued higher than mint for the green and greenish colors -- a manuscript cancel like this cannot be proven as Used -- I have priced this as if Mint. Very attractive and with very clear engraving impression. Priced correctly for the quality and cancellation. |
