5c Rose, Error (505). Mint N.H., brilliant color, mathematically perfect centering on bright paper, long and full perforations all around EXTREMELY FINE GEM. AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE PERF 11 5-CENT ERROR OF COLOR, WHICH HAS BEEN AWARDED THE GRADE OF GEM 100 BY P.S.E. — THIS IS THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED. During the production of the normal 2c plate No. 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was sent back to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public both Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 (Scott 467, 485 and 505). With 2010 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100, unlisted in SMQ above the grade of 98, SMQ price $4,500.00 as 98). This is the highest grade awarded and it is the only example to achieve it.

5c Rose, Error (505). Radiant color as fresh as the day it was printed, unusually choice centering with well-proportioned margins, neat strike of duplex cancel EXTREMELY FINE. A SCARCE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1917 PERF 11 5-CENT ERROR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIND AS A SOUND AND CENTERED USED STAMP. During the course of production of the normal 2c from plate 7942, three positions were noted to be defective. The plate was returned to the siderographer, who burnished out the three positions and mistakenly re-entered them using a transfer roll for the 5c stamp. The error passed unnoticed and the sheets were issued to the public Perf 10, Imperforate and Perf 11 (Scott 467, 485 and 505). The imperforate is not known used. The Perf 10, Scott 467, is scarcer than the Perf 11 offered here, but both are very difficult to find in sound and centered used condition. The last time we offered a used example in any condition was in 2004. With 1998 P.F. certificate. Robert Siegel Auction Galleries, Sep 2012, Sale 1028, Lot 428 |
