1979 $1.00 Rush Lamp & Candle Holder, intaglio brown color inverted, n.h., v.f. The so-called CIA invert is one of the best known inverted color errors in United States philately. 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. Because the number of existing CIA inverts approximately equals the number of existing Inverted Jennies (examples of C3a regularly bring six-figure sums at auction), it may be said that current values for 1610c are far too low. This exceptional copy is accompanied by a 2014 PFC graded "XF 90",

1856 City Letter Express Mail, Newark, New Jersey, 1c red, with margins but defective at top, used with 3c dull red (11), good margins, except just touching at top, both stamps tied by "Newark N.J. July 31" (1856) circular datestamp on small mourning cover to Andora Post Office Roxborough, Philadelphia, Pa, with 2006 PSE certificate. Only four examples of the Newark City Letter Express 1c stamp are known tied on covers (the example offered here was reported by William T. Crowe). One of the rarest U.S. locals (The Newark Daily Advertiser carried daily advertisements for Peck & Company's City Letter Express from June 12 through September 29, 1856. Augustus L. Peck's partner in the City News Office was R. Jaques, and their office was located at 324 Broad Street. The City Letter Express provided letter delivery to the mails (1c) and within the city (2c). Their competitor, Rogers' Penny Post, only carried letters to the post office. Peck's advertisements also solicited package-express business, which may have been on behalf of the New Jersey Express Company, which had its business in Newark during the same period (reference: Elliott Perry, Pat Paragraphs, reprint, pp. 405-408)
