Item Description

Grade: F/VF (Fine/Very Fine)
Ultra-premium full mint sheet of 100 of Scott #669, the 1c Nebraska Overprint issue of 1929, mint condition, all never hinged. This particular sheet includes two examples of the “missing period” error, with each of those stamps having a premium catalog value of $50 each. Certified genuine by the American Philatelic Society Expertizing Service (APEX—See attached image.) The Kansas-Nebraska overprints were issued in response to thefts in the midwest, but it didn't really help, so they were only available for a short period. Sales, however, were not limited to Kansas and Nebraska as the sheets were available in other states as well.This full mint sheet is nearly 95 years old and in very good condition with only a missing corner noted. Very difficult to come by, this sheet has a Scott Catalog value of nearly $750 based on the plate block, the error stamps, and the additional singles.This Nebraska overprint sheet came from an estate that included a large number of mint sheets, plate blocks, coil rolls, booklets, and multiples from the mid 1920's through the 1960's. (See my other listings.) It appears that the original collector obtained material in quantity from the local or district post office, kept the sheets and roles intact or broke them up into plate blocks and multiples, and retained them in glassine envelopes and/or folders. The original collector appears to have died or stopped collecting in the late 60's and the collection appears to have been largely untouched until the current owner arranged for their sale. The provenance of the estate collection as a whole also supports the authenticity of these overprints.The sheet on the image is the one you will receive. NO STOCK IMAGES! Perf seps along the narrow selvage are common and may occur. Centering, coloring and overprint are as pictured. Any other issues will be visible on the image or noted in the condition description above. The original APEX certificate will be included with the sheet. Please check out my other mint sheet listings. Because of the value, this sheet will be shipped by USPS Priority Mail with tracking and full value insurance. Any other sheets purchased at the same time will be included at no additional charge
