Symbols Used ( ) Unused, no gum/regummed O Used E Essay Mint with gum S Specimen Piece Mint never hinged Block ( ) Cover Front P Proof Cover

Description Notes: Fl - Folded letter, SL - Straight line, CDS - Circular date stamp, OG - Original gum

Gum Unmounted mint: un-used with full original gum that has not been hinged. Mint: un-used with original gum that has been hinged, which may or may not have a hinge remnant (not necessarily described.) Un-used: un-used without gum, except where original gum is indicated (to indicate that the gum is of a lesser nature than on a mint stamp), with the following orders of magni- tude (corresponding to the part of the stamp showing gum) for gum: much original gum – large part original gum – part original gum – traces of original gum.

Quality Parmeters Extremly fine - very fine - fine to very fine - fine - very good - good - fair - poor (in mixed lots, fine to very fine means the presence of both fin and items of higher grade). Quality designations in mixed lots are overall ones.

Covers can be expected to have minor nicks, short edge tears, flap tears as well as slight reduction from opening. Entires (folded letters) normally have one or two file folds, and common stamps on covers may have small faults that do not detract overly from the cover usage. These may not be described and are not grounds for return.

All counts in mixed lots are approximate, whether or not so stated.

The catalogue illustrations are an integral part of the descriptions, and no lot may be returned for details visible from the illustration.
