5c Blue, Imperforate (Scott 315). Horizontal pair, large to huge margins all around, gorgeous rich color and proof-like impression, both stamps with face-free cancels EXTREMELY FINE. THE 1908 5-CENT IMPERFORATE IS EXTREMELY RARE IN USED CONDITION, ESPECIALLY AS A MULTIPLE. According to Johl, only 29 sheets of 400 of the 5c imperforate were issued. Most were sent to Indianapolis and the majority was used by manufacturers of private coils. Some unused were no doubt kept by collectors — 825 copies were distributed to members of the Detroit Philatelic Society. It is possible that most of the used copies originate from this supply. We have offered only four used pairs since 1999. With 1988 and 2003 P.F. certificates Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Oct 2012, Sale 1032, Lot 3444 |
