Lot	Sym.	Lot Description
1768		1c Green, Rotary, Perf 11 (594). Light machine cancel, deep shade, remarkably choice centering for this difficult stamp EXTREMELY FINE. SOUND COPIES OF THE 1923 ROTARY PERF 11 ISSUE ARE RARE, AND ONLY A FEW HAVE THE CENTERING AND MARGINS OF THIS SUPERB STAMP. The 1c Green, Scott 594, is waste from a horizontal rotary printing used to make coils. At the beginning or end of a coil-stamp print run from the 170-subject rotary plates, some leading or trailing paper was produced that was too short for rolling into 500-stamp rolls. In 1919 the Bureau devised a plan to salvage this waste by perforating and cutting the sheets into panes. They were put through the flat-plate perforator in use at the time, giving the sheets full perforations on all sides. In 1923 coil waste from the new 1c and 2c rotary production was turned into stamps later classified as Scott 578-579 and 594-595. These were the last of the coil-waste issues. Fewer than 100 survive of Scott 594 today. With 1995 P.F. certificate (Image)	6,750.00
1769		2c Carmine, Rotary, Perf 11 (595). Mint N.H., deep rich color on bright paper, almost perfectly centered with wide margins EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL MINT NEVER-HINGED EXAMPLE OF THE 2-CENT PERF 11 ROTARY PRESS COIL WASTE ISSUE, SCOTT 595. With 1984 and 2002 P.F. certificates (Image)	1,500.00
1770		2c Carmine, Joint Line Pair, Ty. I, II (599-599A). Lightly hinged, brilliant color on white paper, mathematically perfect centering, Extremely Fine Gem, a superb joint line pair, with 2000 P.F. certificate (Image)	750.00
