Lot	Symbol	CatNo.	Lot Description	CV or Estimate
421		35	#35, 10c Green, Ty. V, excellent centering within remarkably wide margins, deep intense color and impression, o.g., lightly hinged, extremely fine; 1985 PF certificate. (Image)	$250.00 SOLD for $260.00 Will close during Public Auction
422	O	36	#36, 12c Black, plate I, an uncommonly choice used example, wonderfully well centered for this narrowly spaced stamp, deep color and a razor-sharp impression, petite rimless grid cancel, extremely fine; 2001 PF certificate. (Image)	$375.00 SOLD for $350.00 Will close during Public Auction
423	O	36c	#36c, 12c Black, plate 1, horizontal pair, imperforate between, used, with just a faint trace of a cancel, some clipped perfs, creases, a closed tear and tiny pinholes, overall a presentable example of this important error rarity; believed to be one of just two known examples available, a third (ex-Ishikawa) pair was stolen and to date has not been recovered, making this one of the key rarities of the 1857-1860 Issue, as well as being an essential item for the collector of classic errors; accompanied by a 1963 PF certificate. (Image)	$12,500.00 SOLD for $3,000.00 Will close during Public Auction
424		36B	#36B, 12c Black, plate III, exceedingly well centered and margined, especially intense color and impression, full clean o.g., faintly hinged, extremely fine; 1991 PF certificate. (Image)	$825.00 SOLD for $900.00 Will close during Public Auction
425		36Bd	#36Bd, 12c Black, plate III, imperforate, unused single with ample to large margins around, deep color and impression, very fine; an exceedingly rare imperforate, being just the second example we have ever offered; 1990 PF certificate; listed but unpriced in Scott. (Image)	Est. $1,000-1,500 SOLD for $600.00 Will close during Public Auction
426		37	#37, 24c Gray lilac, an exceptional mint example of this always difficult stamp, possessing outstanding centering which is far superior to the norm, uncommonly strong and fresh color as well, o.g., extremely fine and desirable; 1995 PF certificate. (Image)	$1,600.00 SOLD for $800.00 Will close during Public Auction
427	O	37 var.	#37 var., 24c Red lilac, offered here is the only recorded and certified example of the Twenty Four Cent value in Red lilac, with strong color in this distinctive shade, cancelled by a red grid, some perforation irregularities, otherwise very fine; for years this was the listing example in Scott and assigned #37b, however sometime recently Scott stopped listing it, probably because it had not been offered on the market since 1994; a clearly distinguishable and well documented color variety, it is certainly worthy of relisting in Scott; clear 1981 PF certificate as the old #37b designation; ex-Jennings, Renne. (Image)	Est. $2,000-3,000 SOLD for $5,500.00 Will close during Public Auction
428		37c	#37c, 24c Lilac, imperforate, top sheet-margin single, other margins also quite large, strong rich color and a sharp impression, horizontal crease in the top margin only far away from the design (could be trimmed, still leaving a huge margin), choice very fine; a handsome example of this rare imperforate; 1980 PF certificate. (Image)	$1,500.00 SOLD for $800.00 Will close during Public Auction
429		37c	#37c, 24c Lilac, imperforate, an incredibly rare horizontal pair, possessing full to large margins all around, stunning color that is remarkably deep and luxuriant, superbly detailed impression, very fine and choice; while imperforate singles of the Twenty Four Cent value are offered from time to time, pairs are almost unheard of, as there are only two recorded, this being by far the finer of the two, and the other example is part of the unique set of 24c, 30c and 90c imperforate pairs, and has remained part of that set since 1983, therefore this is really the only available example of the 1860 Twenty Four Cent imperforate pair; accompanied by a 1982 Jakubek certificate and a 2002 PF certificate. (Image)	$10,000.00 SOLD for $7,250.00 Will close during Public Auction
430		38	#38, 30c Orange, nicely centered and margined, strong color, full clean o.g., lightly hinged, choice very fine; 1991 PF certificate. (Image)	$2,400.00 SOLD for $2,100.00 Will close during Public Auction
431		38a	#38a, 30c Orange, imperforate, horizontal pair, three large margins, a little close at bottom, bright color, large part original gum, miniscule corner crease at top left and a faint horizontal crease at bottom, otherwise very fine; there are only three recorded pairs of the Thirty Cent Imperforate, this being the only one with original gum, one of the others is contained in the set of 24c-90c pairs, and the third known pair is quite defective, making the example offered here the finest of the two available pairs; accompanied by a 1984 PF certificate. (Image)	$7,750.00 SOLD for $9,000.00 Will close during Public Auction
432		39a	#39a, 90c Blue, imperforate, full margins around, deeply rich color, tiny thin speck in the left margin, otherwise very fine; an exceedingly rare imperforate that is virtually unobtainable as a pair; clear 1960 PF certificate. (Image)	$4,500.00 SOLD for $1,250.00 Will close during Public Auction
