Item Description
Stamp Evaluation – Scott #C14 (Unused, Never Hinged – Single Stamp)$1.30 Brown – Graf Zeppelin Airmail, 1930
(Zeppelin over Western Hemisphere – Transatlantic Route)
Design Overview:
Scott #C14 was issued in 1930 for the Graf Zeppelin Pan American flight. The vignette presents LZ‑127 crossing the Atlantic between stylized maps of the Americas and Europe, with city callouts for New York, Rio de Janeiro, and Friedrichshafen. Bold horizontal framelines and rich brown ink give the design a stately, panoramic presence.
Grading Breakdown:
Centering Grade: 82 (Very Fine)
All four margins are unquestionably full and clear of the design. The bottom margin is the narrowest, the right margin is the widest, and the top is slightly narrower than the left. Overall placement is modestly high but remains well balanced within the Very Fine range.
Soundness Evaluation:
The stamp is faultless. The paper is sound with no thins, creases, stains, or scuffs. Original gum is full and never hinged.
Soundness Classification: Faultless
Soundness Deduction: 0 points
Perforations and Margins:
Perforations are complete, even, and cleanly formed on all sides with no evidence of trimming or reperforation. Margin balance matches the centering notes above.
Cancellation Classification:
None. Unused stamp; no cancellation present and no adjustment required.
Eye Appeal Adjustment:
Color is strong, impression is crisp, and freshness is excellent. Presentation is attractive but not unusually superior for the issue.
Eye Appeal Adjustment: 0 points
Final Numerical Grade Calculation:
Centering Grade: 82 (Very Fine)
Soundness Deduction: 0 (Faultless)
Adjusted Base Grade: 82
Eye Appeal Adjustment: 0
Final Grade: 82 (Very Fine – VF)
Final Summary:
Scott Number: C14
Condition: Unused, Never Hinged, Original Gum
Centering: Very Fine (82)
Soundness: Faultless
Perforations: Complete and even
Cancellation: None
Eye Appeal: No adjustment
Final Grade: 82 (Very Fine – VF)
Final Verdict:
A faultless, never hinged example of the $1.30 Graf Zeppelin with full, even perforations and Very Fine centering. The balanced presentation and strong color make this a desirable C14, accurately graded at 82 (Very Fine) under the 2009 PSE Grading Guide.
