Moving on to the first cents issue.I haven't attempted to determine colors but for the record there are many and a detailed study can be done on both these stamps.  |

Continuing on with first cent issue here#16 & 17,Of interest there were 25 different printings of number 17 it states three different perfs but I believe there may be more as I have found the compound perf both ways. Colors galore so my small showing is just a sampling of a few.Again a great area to study.  |

Afraid the storm took out my cable internet and I'm using the common wi fi here.Not sure what it did to my scanner but it's also off line at the moment.I'll post more pages when I get things sorted out here.As usual they were supposed to show up today but failed, cable sucks but it beats dial up.

here is #18,19,and 20.again numerous perfs and re-entries.The #18 imperf( ? ) is a very large stamp that covers at least some of the perfs on the others when placed on top.Could it be an extra large stamp?? most of these early stamp designs leave little to no room between design and perf.A very fine copy is extremely hard to find.Next up will be the large queens.  |

"As there were numerous PO dept orders for the 10c, 12.1/2c and 17c, some of these were executed by more than one separate printing, with no special care to ensure uniformity of colour, there is a wide range of shades. 3 "groups" deep yellow green pale yellow green blue green |

continuing with large queens..The laid paper was in a lot of leaf queens with a few other large queens. One of those moments when you find a treasure in the trash.  |

As you can see this issue needs a lot of room a single space in a printed album will not cut it if you plan on a decent presentation of colors and perfs.  |

whoa! I'll give you a thousand U.D. .for everything on this page! lol You have obviously worked endlessly on that collection and those are only the first few pages I'm betting!!actuality If I had a thousand dollars I'd probably just give it to you anyway for being such an upstanding community member!
Your a great person First Frog! I mean that from the absolute bottom of my heart. You have made my chemo treatments so much more tolerable by just the mere distraction of playing guitar again. I feel alive again!! For that I can't put a dollar figure on. God bless you my friend. -Jeff

I blame Mom for making me who I am.Thanks Jeff, re-enforcement for positive energy fuels the soul.Keep watching as the rest of my mess is presented.It ain't world class but rather complete.We may hold a contest on guessing what's missing so those of knowledge pay close heed.
