Scott #1b [1847 5c Orange Brown Franklin] The scarcer Orange Brown color. Used F-VF+ with three large margins and one closer. Blue grid and pen cancellations. Accompanied by a 2016 Philatelic Foundation certificate stating that it is genuine, but "with small creases". (I can find one "crease" that is out in the margin and could actually be cut off, but that is it.) No other defects. Very affordable because of the additional pen cancel. (Scott 2017 value $750 for a normally canceled stamp, plus a small premium for a blue cancel; however, less, but not specified, for a pen canceled #1b stamp.) |

Scott #1b [1847 5c ORANGE BROWN Franklin] Mint (Unused), without gum. F-VF+ with 3.5 margins; just into outer frameline on left near top. Accompanied by a 2021 Philatelic Foundation certificate stating that it is #1b, orange brown, no gum, with a pinhole in cheek and with a small thin. The pinhole is visible under 10x magnification. However, even with magnification, the thin is tiny and extremely hard to find. Wonderful, bright orangish color and sharp engraving impression. So many of the so-called unused examples on the market actually have had a pen cancellation removed that it is very important to have a certificate for such a stamp. A very attractive mint/unused example of our first regularly, nationally issued postage stamp! (Scott 2021 value for no gum is $3500.) |

Scott #1 MAJOR DOUBLE TRANSFER TYPE B [1847 5c Red Brown Franklin] Deep Red Brown color shade (per certificate). Used Fine with one full margin, one close, one touching, and one in. Very neat, light red grid cancellation. Accompanied by a 2016 Philatelic Foundation certificate stating that it is genuine. No defects. The double transfer Type B has doubling of the top and bottom frame lines, which this lightly canceled example nicely shows. Very attractive. (2017 Scott value $550.) |

Scott #9 [1852 1c blue Franklin Type IV] Mint with partial gum, hinge remnant. Enormous margin at top, but in at right and bottom, and large incursion at left. Very slight bend and slight aging. Based on how I acquired this stamp, I suspect that it was lost in the back of a desk drawer for one hundred years or more before coming into the hands of a collector. Though the left margin leaves something to be desired, it is an example of how people had difficulty separating these imperforate stamps back in the early 1850s. A reasonably priced example of an unused stamp that is 168 years old! (Scott 2021 value $725 for full gum and $225 for no gum.) |

Light creasing and left stamp has tiny facial scuff. Very unusual light cancel in BROWN COLOR (Scott 2019 Specialized +$100 for cancel). (Scott 2020 $190.) |
