Item Description
Detailed Analysis of the Stamp (Scott #694)Design Description
Front: The stamp features a portrait of President Benjamin Harrison, facing left, set against a green background. The text "UNITED STATES POSTAGE" is positioned above the portrait, with "13 CENTS" below. The denomination "13" appears prominently in the bottom corners.
Back: The back of the stamp is clean and shows evidence of cancellation bleed-through rather than any faults like creases or tears. There is no gum, which is typical for a used specimen.
Soundness
Condition: The stamp has no significant faults like tears or creases. The paper is intact, and there is no toning. The marks observed are due to cancellation bleed-through.
Grade: Faultless - 100.
Centering
Observation: The stamp is quite off-center, particularly on the left side, where the design approaches the perforations. However, the frameline does not touch the perfs, and there is still a narrow margin of white space.
Grade: Centering: 70 (Fine).
Perforations
Observation: The perforations are generally intact and uniform, though they are a bit uneven in places, particularly along the top edge. No significant faults like missing or clipped perforations are observed.
Eye Appeal
Observation: The stamp presents a neat and clear appearance with a strong green color. The cancellation is moderately heavy but does not detract significantly from the overall visual appeal. It is considered an average cancel.
Grade: Eye Appeal: 0 points.
Final Numerical Grade
Taking into account the centering, soundness, and eye appeal:
Base Grade: 70 (Centering: Fine)
Soundness Adjustment: No deductions (Faultless condition)
Eye Appeal Bonus: No adjustment.
Final Numerical Grade: 70 (Fine)
Summary
Soundness Grade: 100 (Faultless)
Centering Grade: 70 (Fine)
Perforations: Clean and mostly intact
Eye Appeal: No bonus or deduction
Final Numerical Grade: 70 (Fine)
This final grade of 70 reflects the stamp's overall condition, centering, and aesthetic quality, placing it in the Fine (F) category. The cancellation bleed-through is noted but does not affect the soundness grade.
