1890-93 Small Banknote Issue
1c Dull Blue, "Candle Flame" (219 var). Two unused and one used, showing the prominent flaw on the left "1", each shows the variety slightly differently, one Mint N.H., one h.r. and creased, otherwise Fine-Very Fine, Brookman notes "It is probably caused by what printers called 'scooped color' which means that the wiping process removed too much ink from this portion of the plate due to too heavy pressure on the wiping roller or to poor workmanship on the plates."

1c Dull Blue (219). Perfectly centered with Jumbo margins, long and full perforations, brilliant color, neat strike of duplex cancel, Extremely Fine Gem, according to Brookman this design was poorly received, the engraver was furnished with a portrait of Franklin facing right and had to turn it to face left, the New York Times noted that "While Franklin looked like himself while facing to the right in the portrait, by no exertion of skill could his profile be changed to the left without entirely altering his expression and making him resemble the putty-faced personification of senility which now appears on the one cent stamp", with 2003 and 2009 P.S.E. certificates (Gem 100 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 98, SMQ $375.00 as 98), this is the only example to achieve this perfect grade (which is the highest possible), and only one other used stamp from the entire set (a 10c) has achieved this grade
