Price History for Scott 24 in Used 95J 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.

A SPECTACULAR USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1857 ONE-CENT PERFORATED TYPE V, GRADED SUPERB 98 JUMBO BY P.S.E. THIS IS THE WIDEST-MARGINED EXAMPLE WE HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED AND THE HIGHEST GRADE AWARDED.
Wide side margins are the norm for 1c Type V stamps printed from Plates 5 and 7 to 10, but the enormous and balanced top and bottom margins on this example are extremely unusual. The stamp was printed from Plate 7, one of the first of the Type V plates and one that produced sharp clear impressions. A few bottom-row stamps from Plates 5 and 7 show wide-spaced horizontal perforations, comparable to the wide-spaced stamps from Plate 4.

According to the Neinken book (pp. 309-310), the experience gained in perforating sheets from the original imperforate plates showed that additional horizontal and vertical spacing was needed to accommodate perforations. Increasing the size of the plate was not an option, so it was decided to trim down all four sides of the design to make room for perforations. A new transfer roll was made and used for part of Plate 5. Apparently this roll was replaced by a second transfer roll during the transfer process. This second transfer roll was used for part of Plate 5 and also for subsequent plates thru Plate 10. The first transfer roll, used for part of Plate 5, produced the Type Va sub-type (see lot 61).
