Includes both smooth and ribbed gum types as well as shade variations of most all values. All NH, though a couple have minor gum disturbances or light gum bend. Ribbed gum includes all but 8pf and smooth gum includes all but 2pf, 12pf, 24pf, 30pf, 50pf and 80pf. The Scott numbers range from 10N1 to 10N16, and include 10N17-10N16. 2017 Scott Cat. $9.85.
The 1946 definitives, which were overprinted to produce these issues, can be found in a wide variety of shades, and the gum can be found both with vertical ribbing and without the ribbing. Scott does not distinguish between these variations, but we have made separate lots of these varieties and have valued them using the basic catalogue prices.
