| 3 | Perforated Liberty Heads, plate 2, 88 copies nearly all used sorted in stock page pockets as to plate position. Breakdown is 1c, 6 copies; 2c, 12; 3c, 14; 5c, 21; 7c, 26; 20c, 9. Plate positions not represented are 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 16, 32, 36, and 41. CV as used singles is about $226. Overall condition is about good +. [Added by the auctioneer: Stamps are placed in stock sheets having eight horizontal pockets per page. The reverse side of the sheet has eight more such pockets. Three of these sheets, then, have 48 pockets. The plate positions of the stamps are determined, and positions 1 to 48 are placed in the pockets that correspond. Two pockets of a fourth sheet are used for plate position 49 and 50. Since the various denominations were printed by plugging the numerals into the plate (as with the imperfs), the characteristics of a particular plate position are the same (or quite similar) for all denominations.] | 20.00 | 33.00 |
