1c Green, Perf 12 x 10 (423A; formerly 424a). Deep rich color, bold "Chicago Illinois" precancel (inverted), choice centering and wide margins

VERY FINE. AN ATTRACTIVE SOUND EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-CENT 1914 PERFORATED 12 x 10 ISSUE.

Our up-to-date census of Scott 423A is available at our website, at http://siegelauctions.com/enc/census/423A/423A.htm. In addition to some unused copies, we record a used total of 31 singles, eleven pairs, a block of four and three covers. Eleven copies are known with the inverted Chicago precancel.

Census No. 423A-CAN-01. As an additional indication of rarity, we have not offered an example at auction since 2004. Ex Chesapeake. With 1997 P.F. certificate. This stamp is massively undercatalogued in Scott. Since an example has not appeared at auction in several years, the Scott Catalogue price has not been adjusted -- Scott 423D, which appears more frequently, has a Scott Catalogue value of $16,000.00
