VERY FINE: (VF) In prime condition such as to satisfy the requirements of particular collectors. FINE: (F) Perforations or margins do not touch design on issues after 1890 but in some cases may just touch in earlier issues. If used, fairly light cancellation. VERY GOOD: (VG) Generally nice appearance but margins or perforations may cut in slightly. GOOD: (G) Average off-centering or fairly attractive with slight defects. ORIGINAL GUM is not to be expected on 19th century stamps unless so states in the description. MINT: With original gum and never hinged. Unless otherwise noted the Scott 19?9 United States Specialized Catalogue has been used for cataloguing lots in this sale. -52-
