Scott #1031A [1960 1-1/4c turquoise Liberty issue: Palace of the Governors; Santa Fe, New Mexico] NH FULL SHEET, with XF centering throughout, with upper right plate number 26724, bearing "NITRO / W.VA." pre-cancels positioned on the stamps sideways, reading downward, viewed from the left side. The pre-cancellation device was, in upright portrait position on typical portrait stamps, two stamps wide and ten stamps high. [Nitro has an interesting history that fits into thematic collections including chemistry, war, weapons, smokeless gunpowder, etc. Located in what became "Chemical Alley", the site was intended to be the major U.S. WWI production facility for smokeless gunpowder -- "Nitro" is short for nitrocellulose, the primary ingredient of smokeless gunpowder. WWI ended just as the plant started production. Wikipedia states that the plant "...by the time of the armistice was producing one hundred thousand pounds of high explosives per day." The town was later incorporated in 1932 with the name of Nitro. Other major chemical plants were built at Nitro, including a Monsanto facility producing Agent Orange -- and now the area is a Superfund site and is a cancer cluster.] NH full sheets of Liberty issue pre-cancels are quite unusual; while not "rare" or "greatly valuable" they are seldom found or offered. As an individual pre-cancel, the singles would sell for $1 or $2 each. [The website image has been pieced together from a couple scans -- the item is perfect.]

1286 [1967 10 cent Pres. Andrew Jackson, tagged] NH VF full sheet with MISPERFORATION. The vertical perforations are shifted 3-4 mm to the left, cutting off the W and N on the right side of each stamp. The marginal inscriptions (plate number 34348, mail early in the day, and use zip codes) on the left side of the sheet are not in the selvage, but are ON THE RESPECTIVE STAMPS! Unlike coil issues, it is extraordinarily unusual to find sheet stamps with plate numbers actually on the stamp. This misperforation may have affected as few as one printer sheet of 400 (4 panes of 100), in which case only four may have originally existed; because the four sheet positions would thus have been packaged and distributed separately, it is very possible that this is the only remaining example. I have found a few other misperforations of this issue (but none just like this) being offered for $5 to $35 per stamp (none involved the plate number). I believe that the break-up value of this sheet is about $250 for the plate strip of 20 and $5/stamp (perhaps should be $8-10) for the other 80 stamps, totaling $650 break-up value. I offer this full sheet for HALF the break-up value.

Scott #1295a [1966 $5 John Bassett Moore; 1973 TAGGED printing] NH VF/XF/Superb full sheet. Upper left corner, plate #28766. The left two columns, including the plate block are XF-Superb -- unusual for a stamp on which the centering usually varies greatly. There is a slight (typical for this issue) offset impression on the gum on the lower right two stamps. The upper right has some minor bending in the selvedge which I think will flatten out. Otherwise pristine. This sheet is scarce; most of them were broken up and used for postage a long time ago. There were two plate numbers for this issue; both of them exist both non-tagged (#1295, a little scarcer as singles) and tagged (#1295a). It is my observation that though #1295a (tagged) singles are more common, the #1295a sheet is scarcer -- anybody who was buying such costly sheets at the time (this was a lot of money back then) had already purchased #1295 -- they either did not know about the #1295a tagged version or did not care to spend so much money again. This is a real sleeper! The searching I have done finds a couple examples of #1295 (untagged) sheets offered, but I have been unable to find any #1295a (tagged) sheets offered. My most recent Brookman does not price sheets of either, but apparently a later version lists #1295 (untagged) at $1880 (much too high). Regardless, this #1295a (tagged) version is very scarce and is missing the vast majority of sheet collections.
