CSA Scott #3 [1862 2c LIGHT GREEN Andrew Jackson] Mint Superb with huge, even margins and clear impression (for this), without gum as typical. This is a stamp issue that is seldom found in even VF quality but this is a truly wonderful example in exceptionally nice quality. Certainly the nicest looking example I have had in 46 years and I do not recall seeing a nicer looking example anywhere else. (Scott 2021 value is $1000 for "VF" quality without gum; this is much nicer!) |

CSA Scott #3 [1862 2c LIGHT GREEN Andrew Jackson] Used ON PIECE with F-VF appearance, but there is damage at the upper left and upper right corners. The piece is a full corner (all layers of the paper) of what appears to be a handmade envelope from craft wrapping paper (?). A fairly well-struck and substantially complete "LIVINGSTON / Ala." Alabama October 4 cancellation. Part of a double-struck "5" rate marking at left, though I am not sure then why the piece bears a 2 cent stamp; perhaps the envelope was uprated with postage due because of the contents (letter instead of printed matter) or distance (beyond the local drop letter distance)?? A reasonable example, showing actual use, of a very scarce stamp! (Scott 2024 value is $750 for an ordinary used single in VF quality.) |

CSA Scott #4a Stone 2 Dark Blue [1861 5c Blue Jefferson Davis] Used with VF appearance. Four clear margins (close on the right, but does not touch) with a neat, but light RICHMOND cancellation that is dated June (JUN) 30 and what appears to be 1862. Though this has a typical small thin spot (small and unobtrusive), this is a nice looking example with great color. A pretty example. (Scott 2024 value $175.) |

CSA Scott #4b Stone 2 Light Milky Blue [1861 5c Blue Jefferson Davis] Used with F-VF appearance. Three ample to large margins; fourth margin just touching at top. Tiny margin crease on right; upper right corner worn with creases. Black North Carolina town cancellation: "...STON / NC". Though with the typical small faults, this is a nice looking example with the unusual light milky blue color. (Scott 2024 $200.) |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7L) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper] NEVER HINGED with VF centering and full to large margins, and full original gum. This was printed on London Paper, with London Ink, but with local (Richmond) gum (which on this example is thicker, yellowish, and applied with vertical brush strokes). The printing quality is excellent, but not to the standard of the London printing. The ink color is the same as the Light Blue London color, thus easily confusing it with a London printing except for the gum and slightly less detailed printing impression. I find "in between" examples such as this to be quite interesting. Outstanding appearance and quality. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum; this example not only has gum, but is NH.) |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7L) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper] Mint, with full gum and hinge remnant, with XF centering and huge margins. This was printed on London Paper, with London Ink, but with local (Richmond) gum (which on this example is slightly thicker, slightly yellowish, but very neatly applied). The printing quality is excellent, but not to the standard of the London printing. The ink color is the same as the Light Blue London color, thus easily confusing it with a London printing except for the gum and slightly less detailed printing impression. I find "in between" examples such as this to be quite interesting. Outstanding appearance and quality. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum; this example has original local gum.) |

CSA Scott #7 VARIETY (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on Richmond Paper] Mint, with full gum, moderately hinged. RIGHT MARGIN example with XF centering and appearance. This was printed on Medium thickness Local Paper that is slightly yellowish with rough surface texture. Local Dull Blue ink. The gum is local Richmond gum with brownish color and horizontal brush strokes. The printing quality very good except that the roughness of the paper prevents a good impression. I find fully gummed examples of the Richmond printings to be quite interesting. (Scott only values #7 and variations without gum, but this example has full original gum as described.) Wonderfully fresh and attractive! |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7R) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on Local Paper but with London ink] Mint with VF centering and ample to large margins, and full original gum. Based on the extremely high quality of the printing impression of this example, it looks like the London printing. However, the paper is of medium thickness (not thin) -- but just as white as the London paper -- and the gum is yellowish and is quite thick and crackly (not thin, white, and smooth). I find "in between" examples such as this to be quite interesting. Outstanding appearance. (Scott unfortunately lists the local paper version in the Varieties section below #7 instead of in the main #7 listing with a sub-number [I have suggested that this be changed]; Mint value WITHOUT gum is $50; this is much nicer with full original gum.) |

CSA Scott #7 (CSA #7L) [1862 5c blue Jefferson Davis, Richmond Printing on London Paper, with Local Gum] HORIZONTAL PAIR. Mint, full original gum with hinge remnant, VF appearance with ample to large margins, but with a couple creases. The printing quality is rough with less detail, typical of later (but still on London paper) Richmond printings. The ink color is slightly darker than the London color. The gum is local: in this case it is high quality but yellow, though fairly evenly applied. The paper is high quality, thin and white, with the calendered surface of London paper. An interesting "in between" example of the evolving production. An interesting printing variety with a "hickey" on the right stamp next to the ear. This was caused by a piece of foreign matter on the plate, which printed as a small spot, but because of the raised area of that foreign matter it results in an unprinted "halo" around the spot. |
