One of the rarest 20th Century United States stamps in unused condition (594 is waste from a horizontal rotary printing used to make coils. At the beginning or end of a coil-stamp print run from the 170-subject rotary plates, some leading or trailing paper was produced that was too short for rolling into 500-stamp rolls. In 1919 the Bureau devised a plan to salvage this waste by perforating and cutting the sheets into panes. They were put through the 11-gauge flat-plate perforator in use at the time, giving the sheets full perforations on all sides. The existence of Scott 594 was not reported until four months after the final sheets were delivered, and the 1c Rotary perf. 11 was soon recognized as one of the rarest United States stamps. Siegel Census of unused examples of Scott 594 records only 18 (!) copies. Of these only 11 have any gum, and three of those have perforated initials of Crowell Publishing Co. of Springfield, Ohio, which some collectors regard as equivalent to a cancel. (Scott Catalogue notes "both unused and used are valued with perforations just touching frameline on one side") (catalogued as unused without gum), ex-Hoffman (Siegel Auctions Aug 2008), (*) Catalog #594 Catalog Value $35,000 | $7,000.00 To bid in this auction, please login or create a new account. |

 | Lot #2508 United States 1901 Pan-American Exposition 1901 4c deep red brown & black, Center Inverted, unused with full original gum, h.r., incredibly bright and fresh colors, centered just slightly to the bottom, far better centering than most existing examples, superior quality, among the finest available, without the usual gum problems that plague this issue, with 1960 and 2009 PFCs. There were two sheets of 100 each of the 4c Pan-American with centers inverted intentionally made for Post Office records. An unknown number of these were overprinted "Specimen" and still others were destroyed. The unoverprinted examples were mounted in a Post Office Department book resulting in the vast majority of them having disturbed gum, and a number were also thinned in an effort to remove them from mounting paper. Very few exist today with completely undisturbed original gum and/or free of faults. This example is accompanied by a 1960 PFC which states the stamp has "disturbed gum". It is easy to agree with the written notations on the certificate by the legendary dealer Jack Molesworth who writes "Ridiculous comment, probably the most undisturbed gum of any copy known - most of which have gum missing, thinned, etc. from being stuck down." (the stamp was resubmitted to the Philatelic Foundation, which issued a certificate in 2009 "It is genuine, previously hinged" (the catalogue value in Scott is for examples that have "full original gum that is slightly disturbed.")

(The popular "CIA invert" is one of the most well known inverted color errors in United States collecting. These stamps were discovered by an on-duty CIA employee who teamed up with some colleagues to purchase the pane from a post office. Saving a copy each, the group later sold the bulk of the sheet to a prominent stamp dealer. News of the error reached CIA officials who sought to claim ownership and US Postal authorities who tried to recover the stamps. Official queries, threats, and even job losses followed the group until the sale of the pane was ruled legal. Of that pane of 100, only 93 reached collectors and did not include a plate block.

This stamp is the lower left copy from the famous "McCoy Block" belonging to Ethel B. McCoy, which was stolen at the APS convention on September 23, 1955. Originally purchased by William T. Robey in 1918 (as a sheet of 100 from a Washington D.C. post office), the block was later owned by Arthur Hind, the Scott Stamp and Coin Co., Spencer Anderson and then Ethel McCoy (nee Stewart). Mrs. McCoy was reimbursed $15,000 by her insurance company and the rights of the block were sold to the American Philatelic Research Library. The block was never seen again intact, but this stamp appeared in 1958 when it was offered to the Weill brothers in New Orleans. The FBI was notified but it did not meet the minimum value for them to get involved. It then resurfaced in 1977 when it was submitted to the Philatelic Foundation for expertising. This time the FBI did get involved and after its recovery and custody battle, Mrs. McCoy donated the stamp to the American Philatelic Research Library. It was sold in 1981 on behalf of APRL at the APS Convention in Atlanta by John Kaufmann to Dr. Joseph Kurtzman, who sold it through Siegel to its current owner in 2001.

It is on bright paper, with deep rich color, with violet Cristobal cds. The perforations at right are scissor separated, typical of the handmade booklet panes, which is also a trait of the other three examples, making it likely that the error sheet was produced in this way.
