A very fine mint NH upper sheet margin pair of the 1c red brown stamp from the 1932-1948 First Postal Scrip Issue, showing a line between the two stamps, most likely resulting from a plate crack. Printed on horizontal wove paper with light vertical ribbing visible on the back. Deep yellowish cream gum that has a glossy sheen. Van Dam does not list this variety, but lists a values a fine NH pair at $5, so I estimate the value at $10. The pair offered here grades 80 as follows:
Centering/margins: 50/70 Paper freshness: 5/5 Colour: 5/5 Impression: 5/5 Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5 Perforations: 10/10
