#128, 12c Green re-issue, the mint example offered here is, without a doubt, one of the most exciting and extraordinary stamps in this or any other sale, as it is in a condition that one would think would be impossible to find, possessing a spectacular overall brilliance and freshness, with incredibly intense color and a razor-sharp impression on bright crisp paper, marvelously well centered amid extravagantly large margins, and most impressive of all is the fact that this exciting stamp's full original gum is never hinged, a feature that is unheard of on this or any other value from the 1869 Pictorial Re-issue series, an extremely fine gem in every regard; the only example of this stamp that the Philatelic Foundation has certified as never hinged; 2001 PF and PSE certificates.

#129, 15c Brown and blue re-issue, Ty. III, spectacularly fresh mint example, featuring colors that are incredibly deep and intense on bright crisp paper, plus it is virtually perfectly centered amid immense margins quite unlike any other example of this we have seen, full o.g., just a tiny insignificant toned spot is the only thing separating this stamp from perfection, extremely fine and visually stunning; only 1,981 issued; 1989 PF certificate; ex-Weill Brothers.

#130, 24c Green and violet re-issue, an exceptionally choice used example of this value which, despite its disparity in catalog value, is far more elusive to find used than mint, wonderfully well centered within large margins, strong rich colors, a light unobtrusive strike of duplex numeral in grid postmark confirms its contemporaneous usage, extremely fine; only a minute number of the 2,091 issued of this value were ever used, and few of these are found in the premium quality this stamp possesses; 2000 PF certificate.

#131, 30c Blue and carmine re-issue, a superb used example of this rare and popular re-issue, being in a condition that places it among the finest known used examples, flawlessly centered amid incredibly large margins all around, gorgeous intense colors and impressions on wonderfully bright paper, far more lightly cancelled than any other used copy we have seen, as these are typically found with boldly struck double oval registry postmarks, an extremely fine used gem for the finest collection; only 1,535 issued; 1984 and 1989 PF certificates; ex-Saadi.

#132, 90c Carmine and black re-issue, a breathtaking mint single that is surely the "ultimate" example of this re-issue rarity, possessing margins of truly immense proportions and being absolutely perfectly centered within them, contributing further to this remarkable stamp's overall appearance is its magnificently rich colors and razor-sharp impressions on brilliantly white paper, even its reverse is impressive, sporting unusually clean white full o.g. that has been very lightly hinged, a superb gem for the finest collection; we seriously doubt a more impressively centered and margined example exists among the 1,356 issued; 1997 PF certificate.

#153, 24c Purple, an eye-arresting mint single which possesses two attributes that are rarely associated with this difficult Bank Note, the first is its spectacularly fresh and intensely rich color unlike any other mint #153 we have seen, and second is this stamp's near perfect centering amid enormously large margins, again a most uncommon occurrence, large part o.g., an extremely fine gem.
