141

#141, 15c Orange with grill, the mint example offered here is one of the most exciting Bank Note stamps we have ever had the pleasure to offer in our sales, as the Fifteen Cent 1870 National grilled Bank Note is widely regarded as one of the most elusive stamps in all of U.S. philately to find in mint condition, let alone in premium condition, with this example being perhaps the finest quality original gum example in existence, in fact, we have never offered a mint copy of this that has even approached the remarkable condition this stamp possesses, boasting outstanding centering within uncharacteristically large margins, and equally impressive is this stamp's absolutely sensational color that is both vibrant and intense on bright paper, lightly hinged, extremely fine gem; an enormous condition rarity for the collector assembling a truly great collection of gem quality original gum stamps; 1993 PSE and 2002 PF certificates.

144

#144, 90c Carmine with grill, an enormously rare mint example of one of the most challenging stamps in United States philately, as very few examples exist that are both sound and still retaining their full original gum, not to mention being certified, this particular copy is completely fault free and boasts strong rich color and full clean o.g. which shows the grill impression exceptionally well, lightly hinged, fine; only one or two sound mint examples of Scott #144 make an appearance on the auction market in the course of a year, if at all; 1999 PF certificate.
