Item Description
Detailed Analysis for Scott #E12aDesign Description:
This stamp features a depiction of a motorbike courier delivering mail, emphasizing the importance and efficiency of Special Delivery services at any United States post office. The design is clear and maintains historical significance.
Soundness (Grade: Damaged):
The stamp has multiple issues, including a large tear in the upper right quadrant and several perf tip creases along the top. These flaws classify the stamp as "Damaged," significantly reducing its soundness grade.
Centering (Grade: 79 - Fine/Very Fine):
The stamp is noticeably off-center, with one or two sides significantly closer to the edge. However, there is white space between the frameline and the perforations, making the centering fall within the Fine/Very Fine category.
Perforations:
While generally intact, the perforations are marred by several perf tip creases. The overall structure remains complete, but the quality is affected by the damage.
Eye Appeal (Grade: No Deduction):
The cancel is average and does not obscure the main design elements. There is no additional deduction for centering in terms of eye appeal.
Final Numerical Grade:
Combined Base Grade (Fine/Very Fine + Damaged Soundness): 25
No Eye Appeal Deduction
Final Grade: 25 (Fair/Good)
Summary:
Despite its Fine/Very Fine centering, the stamp suffers from substantial soundness issues, including a large tear and multiple perf tip creases, leading to a significant reduction in its grade. The overall rating of Fair/Good (25) accurately reflects the damage present.
