Price History for US Scott 1 in Used 90 Grade
Show Grade on Graph
Show all gradesThree things to keep in mind when looking at the above results (unsolds are not included):
- It is important to look at the individual data points listed below. Price swings up may be due to varieties such as broken hat or other positives such as cancels. Price swings down may be due to factors such as faults on items that would have graded higher if they were sound, and may not be considered as desirable as a sound copy in this grade.
- When looking at multiple grades on the graph, grades with the same population numbers may show overlapping.
- At the time of an auction, the SMQ value has already been published and is available to bidders. Increases or decreases in SMQ value prior to the auction may affect the price realized.

THIS SPECTACULAR USED CORNER-MARGIN COPY OF THE 5-CENT 1847 ISSUE HAS BEEN GRADED GEM 100 JUMBO BY P.S.E. WITHOUT QUESTION THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST USED EXAMPLES OF THE FIRST UNITED STATES POSTAGE STAMP.
The Act of March 3, 1847, signed by President Polk, specified that Postmaster General Cave Johnson "be authorized to prepare postage stamps, which when attached to any letter or packet, shall be evidence of the payment of the postage..." The law's effective date was July 1, and the Post Office acted immediately to secure a contract with Rawdon, Wright, Hatch and (the new partner) Edson, so that stamps could be distributed by that date. The Franklin vignette is reported to have been based on a portrait by John B. Longacre, and it also closely resembles a painting by Joseph S. Duplessis.
With 1992 P.F. certificate as Orange Brown. With 2007 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 98, $3,500.00 SMQ value for a 98 grade has little relevance to this stamp). This is the only example to achieve this ultimate grade in the P.S.E. Population Report. The next highest grade for a used 5c 1847 in any shade is 98J.
