Item Description

Detailed Analysis of Scott #631

Design Description:
The 1½-cent Harding imperforate pair features a profile portrait of Warren G. Harding, surrounded by a frame with intricate details. The denomination is inscribed prominently at the bottom. The pair is an imperforate issue with clean-cut margins and was issued during the early 20th century.

Soundness (Grade):
Observation: Both stamps in the pair exhibit no visible faults on either the front or the back. The gum appears to have no wrinkles, disturbances, or bends, indicating a sound condition.
Grade: Faultless

Centering (Grade):
Observation: The pair is noticeably off-center, especially on the horizontal margins. While the top and bottom edges have sufficient space, the left margin of the left stamp and the right margin of the right stamp are narrower. However, there is no encroachment of the design into the edges.
Grade: Fine-Very Fine (79)

Perforations:
Observation: As an imperforate issue, there are no perforations present. The edges are cut cleanly without any roughness or irregularities.
Grade: Not Applicable

Eye Appeal (Grade):
Observation: The color is rich, and the impression is sharp. The overall visual balance is slightly affected due to the centering, but it does not detract significantly from the presentation. The back shows minor traces of hinging, which is standard for unused stamps of this era.
Grade: Neat/Clean (No Effect)

Final Numerical Grade:
Soundness: Faultless
Centering: 79
Eye Appeal: No effect
Final Grade: 79 (Fine-Very Fine)

This imperforate pair is a solid collectible item with minor centering imperfections but exceptional soundness and vibrant eye appeal.
