#233a, 4c Blue Columbian error of color, an unusually fresh mint examp le of this rare commemorative co lor error, being in the prefe1Ted deeper of the two error shades , with luxuria nt deep color and a proof-like impression , nicely centered for this , considering that many are quite off center, full and even perforat ions all around , clean origina l gum whic h has on ly been lightly hinged, plus it shows the "Three Lear ' variety described in Brookman , near ly Very Fine ; mint copies of this error of color that are both without faults and possess intact gum are surprisingly few and far between; while it is appa rent that at least two sheets of 100, comprised of two panes of 50 were printed , the number of surv iving examples seem s to be far fewer , it is known that one pane of 50 was discovered by J.Y. Painter in Cleve land , half being sold to George Worthington and the rest to J.W. Scott, howeve r the Worthington half was not among his effec ts when his esta te was sold , as for the other panes , a portion of these were used as postage, and this is where the few existing used cop ies come from , as far as the availability of singles is concerned , it shou ld be noted that there remain at least three intact blocks of four and an imprint and plate no . strip of four, furthe r reduci ng the availab le supply of sing les ; 1979 and 2000 P.F. certificates.

#613, 2c Harding rotary press, perf. 11, a highly desirable example of this sought-after commemorati ve rarity, being particu larly well centered , especia lly when compared to the others , as this stamp is often found quite poorly centered , with the perforations touching the design on one or two sides, not so the example offered here however, as the perforations are we ll clear all around, large margins on three sides, deep rich color and characteristic rotary press printing impression on fresh white paper, plus it is comp letely free of the myriad faults that plague so many, light and unobtru sive wavy line machin e cancel, Very Fine for this; the 2c Harding Memorial issue produced from rotary press sheet waste is one of the great rarities in Unite d States philatel y, with only 44 examples confirmed to exist, four of which are in pairs, and all used, of these 22 have their perforations cutting or touching the design in one or two direction s, of the copies centered clear of design many have faults of one kind or another , making this one of the scant few copies that is both completely sound and centered clear of the design ; Siegel census #7; 1976 S.P.A. and 1977, 1992 and 2004 P.F. certificates ; ex-Bettin, Stollnitz and "Connoisseur" Collection.

The perforated 12 test coils were printed by letter press and show an ent irely different method of depicting the shading . In particu lar, face shading is compo sed of open squa res, whi le the intag lio test stamp s show line shading . Compar ison with intaglio print ing shows a clea rly inferior rendition of the portrait. In addition letterpress printed stamps were determined to be an easier form of print ing to counterfeit.

CONDITIONS OF SALE THE PLACING OF A BID SHALL CONSTITUTE ACCEPTANCE OF THE CONDITIONS OF SALE BIDDING Unless announced otherwise by the auctioneer, all bids are per lot, as numbered in the printed Catalogue . H.R. Harmer, as agent for the consignor or vendor, shall regulate the bidding and shall determine the manner in which the bidding shall be conducted. Harmers reserves the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale (without liability to any potential purchaser or agent), to re-offer any withdrawn lot, to divide a lot or to group two or more lots belonging to the same consignor or vendor, and to refuse any bid believed not made in good faith. 2. The highest bid acknowledged by the auctioneer shall prevail. Should a dispute arise between bidders (including a dispute between a floor bidder and the auctioneer acting on behalf of a mail bidder, consignor or vendor), the auctioneer alone shall determine who is the successful bidder and whether to reoffer the lot in dispute. Should a dispute arise after the sale, the auctioneer 's sale records shall be conclusive. On all lots sold, a comm iss ion of 15% on the hammer price is payable by the buyer. 3. (a) The auctioneer reserves the right to bid on behalf of clients (and consignors or vendors) but shall not be liable for errors and omissions in executing instructions to bid, however received, and whether such errors or omissions be those of the bidder or agent or those of the auctioneer. (b) All lots are offered subject to a reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price. The auctioneer may implement such reserve price by bidding on behalf of the consignor vendor. (c) It may also be assumed that all consignors have been advanced monies against the sale of their stamps and Harmers therefore has a security interest over and above the normal auction commission. (d) Purchases made by a consignor or vendor or his agent on his own lots shall be considered as a sale subject to commissions and sales tax as applicable. (e) Agents are responsible for all purchases made on behalf of their clients, unless other arrangements have been confirmed in writing prior to the auction . PAYMENT FOR PURCHASES 4. Payment for lots, including those on which opinions are desired (Condition of Sale 8), shall be as follows : (a) Floo r Bidders . Payment of the purchase price, or such part there of as Harmers shall require, shall be made by the purchaser in such manner as Harmers may determine . The name and address of the purchaser of each lot shall be given to the auctioneer immediately following the sale of such lot. (b) Mail Bidders. A successful mail bidder will be notified of lots purchased. Before Harmers will send such lots, payment in full must be received by Harmers within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder . However , a purchaser known to Harmers , or who furnishes satisfactory references, may at Harmers option, have purchases delivered or forwarded for immediate payment (by a dollar draft on a U.S. bank in the case of overseas purchasers). Mailed delivery will be to the address on the bid sheet and proof by Harmers of receipt of a sending at the advised address shall constitute delivery. All charges for handling , delivery and insurance (obtained by Harmers on behalf of the purchaser) shall be added to the purchase price; a minimum charge of $1.00 will be made. Risk of loss in transit shall be on the purchaser. (c) Where an opinion of a generally recognized authorityâ&#x20AC;˘ is desired, the time for payment may be extended in accord with and subject to Condition of Sale 8. 5. Title shall not pass to the purchaser until full payment has been received by Harmers as agents for the consignor or vendor. 6. (a) Purchasers agree to pay for lots as specified in Condition of Sale 4 (or as the same may be modified by Condition of Sale 8), and no credit is extended; a late payment charge of 2% for the first month and 2 1/2% for each succeeding month compounded shall be added if payment is not made in accordance with the aforesaid conditions. (b) In the event that a bidder shall fail to comply with these Conditions of Sale ("Non-Complying Bidder''), then, as to any lot with respect to which such failure to comply occurs, Harmers may, in its sole discretion, re-offer such lot during the same auction or at an auction at a later time, or by private treaty at such time as Harmers, in its sole discretion , deems appropriate and the Non-Complying Bidder shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the hammer price and the net proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, whether at auction or by private treaty, as well as for all costs and expenses of both sales, all other charges due thereunder, including commissions with respect to both sales, whether payable to Harmers or to a third party and all incidental damages . It shall be in Harmers' sole discretion to determine whether to re-offer the lot theretofore hammereddown to a Non-Complying Bidder at the same auction, or by private treaty in due course, or at a subsequent auction conducted by Harmers. In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offered lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder. (c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Harrners a security interest in property in Harmers possession owned by such purchaser. Harmers shall have all of the rights afforded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property an may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it for the account of, or due from Harmers to such purchaser. (d) If Harmers takes any legal steps to secure payment of a delinquent account, the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Harmers to secure such payment, including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys' fees. For purposes of this paragraph , the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all consultation by Harmers with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquentaccount.

EXHIBITION AND INSPECTION OF LOTS; QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7. (a) On Premises Inspection and Postal Viewing. Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date, and , upon written request and at Harmers discretion, for inspection by postal viewing (all as detailed elsewhere in this Catalogue). (b) Each lot is sold as genuine and correctly described, based on individual description as modified by any specific notations in this Catalogue , including but not restricted to the section entitled "Key to Cataloguing". (c) Quality. Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrectly described may be returned to Harmers within two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser ("Returning Purchaser"), provided, however, that the same is received by Harrners within four weeks of the date of the auction; however, Harmers may, in its discretion , refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired, the period of time within which a lot must be received by Harmers will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority, and Harmers thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the description disputed, the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency, if any, between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser, as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale, including commission, and all incidental damages. Any lot, the description of which is disputed , must be returned intact in the condition received by the purchaser. The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Harmers: (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibition of the lots; (ii) lots examined by postal viewers ; (iii) lots on account of their appearance, if they are illustrated in this Catalogue ; (iv) lots described as having repairs, defects or faults-for any reason; (v) U.S. stamps (through 1918) for reasons of paper inclusions, (vi)no encapsulated stamps unless originally offered in this condition . (d) Authenticity . Any lot which is declared otherwise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnable, provided such lot is received by Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction. Proof that a generally recognized authority declines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurred in the submission and the return of a lot under Conditions of Sale 7-9 are not refunded.

(b) A prospective purchaser wishing to submit a lot to an authority not accepted by Harmers shall, prior to the date of the auction, request in writing permission for such submission and obtain confirmation of such request from Harmers.
