Scott #499 Carmine Rose [1917 2c Washington, Flat Plate, Type I, Perforation 11, Unwatermarked] NEVER HINGED with XF-Superb centering and balanced boardwalk margins. This has to be the best example I have had in 51 years! (Scott 2025 graded value for NH XF-Superb/95 is $70.) ACTUAL item. |

U.S. Scott #499 [1920 2c Washington Flat Plate Type I. (Assumed to be the much lower cost Unwatermarked #499 instead of the very scarcer Watermarked #461).] Used with VF centering and Superb, complete, December 1919 U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS "CHRISTIANSTED / SAINT CROIX / 2" duplex cancellation, on ample-sized piece. This use is after the 1917 sale of the Danish West Indies to the U.S. Straight edge at right and bottom. This is MOST LIKELY FROM A BOOKLET PANE, though it could also be the lower right position in the 400-stamp printer sheet (but that would be much scarcer). If this booklet pane or sheet had guidelines, they are not visible on this stamp. Many Mint straight edge single stamps were used for postage instead of being saved in collections; furthermore Used single examples with straight edges were often discarded instead of going into collections. In some cases, for stamps "with value", the straight edges may have been removed by reperforating. As a result, today straight edge examples can be hard to find.) I think that collecting the different straight edge and guideline positions and multiples is quite challenging and rewarding. USVI canceled stamps are seldom offered. This is a wonderful example in seldom-seen quality. ACTUAL item. |

Scott #505 [1917 5c ROSE ERROR, Washington, Perf 11]. Mint, WITHOUT GUM, with Fine+ centering, but with a couple blunted perforation teeth. A very attractive example of a major U.S. error -- this error is so important that it received a full Scott number. Because of the lack of gum and the couple blunted perforations, this is offered at a low price -- this major error stamp is seldom seen offered at such a low price. (Scott 2026 value $325 with gum.) ACTUAL item. |
