Item Description
Detailed Analysis of Scott #405Design Description
The stamp features a profile of George Washington, facing left, surrounded by a laurel wreath. The denomination "1 CENT" is displayed at the bottom, with "U.S. POSTAGE" inscribed at the top.
Soundness
Grade: Very Minor Fault
Back: The back of the stamp shows a hinge remnant and partial gum, which is considered a very minor fault.
Front: There is no significant damage affecting the soundness beyond the hinge remnant.
Centering
Grade: Fine
The stamp is quite off center on two sides with the edge of the design approaching the perforations. While close, the frameline does not touch the perfs. Some white space is visible, though it may be very narrow.
Perforations
The perforations are intact except for being off center on two sides.
Eye Appeal:
Grade: Average (No adjustment)
The hinge remnant on the back is a minor visual detractor, but it doesn't significantly impact the overall eye appeal.
Final Numerical Grade
Base Grade Calculation: Fine Centering + Very Minor Fault Soundness = Very Good/Fine (60-69)
Adjustment for Eye Appeal: No adjustment needed
Final Grade: 65
This grade reflects the stamp's overall condition, combining its centering, soundness, and eye appeal. The missing gum is factored into the value as a 50% reduction in price, not affecting the numerical grade directly.
