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!) ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7L) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper] Mint, with full gum and hinge remnant, with XF centering and huge margins. This was printed on London Paper, with London Ink, but with local (Richmond) gum (which on this example is slightly thicker, slightly yellowish, but very neatly applied). The printing quality is excellent, but not to the standard of the London printing. The ink color is the same as the Light Blue London color, thus easily confusing it with a London printing except for the gum and slightly less detailed printing impression. I find "in between" examples such as this to be quite interesting. Outstanding appearance and quality. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum; this example has original local gum.) ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 VARIETY (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on Richmond Paper] Mint, with full gum, moderately hinged. RIGHT MARGIN example with XF centering and appearance. This was printed on Medium thickness Local Paper that is slightly yellowish with rough surface texture. Local Dull Blue ink. The gum is local Richmond gum with brownish color and horizontal brush strokes. The printing quality very good except that the roughness of the paper prevents a good impression. I find fully gummed examples of the Richmond printings to be quite interesting. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum, but this example has full original gum as described.) Wonderfully fresh and attractive! ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on Local Paper but with London ink] Mint with VF centering and ample to large margins, and full original gum. Based on the extremely high quality of the printing impression of this example, it looks like the London printing. However, the paper is of medium thickness (not thin) -- but just as white as the London paper -- and the gum is yellowish and is quite thick and crackly (not thin, white, and smooth). I find "in between" examples such as this to be quite interesting. Outstanding appearance. (Scott unfortunately lists the local paper version in the Varieties section below #7 instead of in the main #7 listing with a sub-number [I have suggested that this be changed]; Mint value WITHOUT gum is $50; this is much nicer with full original gum.) ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7L) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper, with Local Gum] HORIZONTAL PAIR. Mint, full original gum with hinge remnant, VF appearance with ample to large margins, but with a couple creases. The printing quality is rough with less detail, typical of later (but still on London paper) Richmond printings. The ink color is slightly darker than the London color. The gum is local: in this case it is high quality but yellow, though fairly evenly applied. The paper is high quality, thin and white, with the calendered surface of London paper. An interesting "in between" example of the evolving production. An interesting printing variety with a "hickey" on the right stamp next to the ear. This was caused by a piece of foreign matter on the plate, which printed as a small spot, but because of the raised area of that foreign matter it results in an unprinted "halo" around the spot. ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 VARIETY (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on Richmond Paper] Mint, with full gum, large hinge remnant, with VF centering and full to large margins. This was printed on THIN Local Paper, with Local Dark/Intense Greenish Blue Ink. The gum is local Richmond gum with diagonal brush strokes. Minor toning/aging that is often typical of Mint examples of the Richmond Printing. The printing quality is still excellent, though not to the standard of the London printing, and in a much different ink color. I find fully gummed examples of the Richmond printings to be quite interesting. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum, but this example has full original gum as described.) ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7La) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper] Mint, with only traces of gum remaining, with F-VF centering and small margins to touching. This was printed on London Paper, with ink that is just slightly more greenish-blue than the light blue London Ink. There is not enough gum remaining to know the origin of the gum. The printing quality is excellent, but not to the standard of the London printing. The more greenish-blue ink color suggests that this is the first step away from the original London ink, still easily confusing it with the London Printing except for the slightly less detailed printing impression. I find "in between" examples such as this to be quite interesting. Typical quality and appearance, with a small bend. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum.) ACTUAL item. |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing, Local Paper and Local Ink] Used with F-VF appearance. Margins are very large at left, but touching at top, irregular at right, and looks ample at bottom, but there is a cut into the design parallel to the bottom margin. Very neat, light, but looks correct, corner, black town cancellation. The printing impression is typically (for the later Richmond printings) rough. The color is unusually Light Blue. The paper is of medium thickness (not thin) and is white, but is not smooth (not calendered). Very nice appearance for a Richmond Printing on Local Paper, but priced low because of the margins. (Scott unfortunately lists the Local Paper version in the Varieties section below #7 instead of in the main #7 listing with a sub-number [I have suggested that this be changed]; value is $55.)

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing, Local Paper and Local Ink] Used with Average-Fine appearance. Margins are very large at left and top, but irregular and into the design on right and bottom. margin. Very neat, light, but looks correct, corner, blue town cancellation. The printing impression is typically (for the later Richmond printings) rough. The color is unusually Light Blue. The paper is extremely thin and is white, but is not smooth (not calendered), thus not London paper. An interesting and probably easily plateable variety: most of the bottom outer frame line is missing (the part that would be visible; the other part is cut off because of the margin). Nice appearance for a Richmond Printing on Local Paper, but priced low because of the margins. (Scott unfortunately lists the Local Paper version in the Varieties section below #7 instead of in the main #7 listing with a sub-number [I have suggested that this be changed]; value is $55. Scott also unfortunately describes all the local papers as thick, which is not a correct statement; a few local papers were very thin, like this example.) ACTUAL item. |
