(PR93). Mint N.H., beautifully centered with wide margins, sharp
proof-like impressionEXTREMELY FINE. A SUPERB MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE RARE 6-CENT 1894 FIRST BUREAU NEWSPAPER STAMP. In our opinion, the catalogue value for this stamp is not commensurate with its rarity. There was only one printing of the 6c of this series, and only 9,705 stamps were issued.

24c Pink, 1894 Issue
(PR96). Original gum, lightly hinged, precise centering, lovely pastel
shadeEXTREMELY FINE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 24-CENT 1894 FIRST BUREAU ISSUE. The high-denomination 1894 Unwatermarked Bureau issues are extremely rare and often plagued with poor centering and faults. If a "condition census" for PR96 were compiled we believe this stamp would rank among the finest extant. With 1992 P.F. certificate (Image) |
