THE ROSSLYN, VIRGINIA, MACHINE, AUGUST 31, 2001-APRIL 11, 2002 (MACHINE #10) |
Fig. 67
There are two sequential complete transactions from this machine, variety pp (Figure 67), as well as one $1.36 "set." Comparable: Scott 59. One of the SCTs shows the first six sheets ULS (N), the third longest sequence ULS. The Rosslyn sheets are the only ones produced at a USPS facility. All the sheets show the right i shift (microprinting shifted from left to right of i in "Paid" which is also seen on certain variety n sheets. The tagging coating is dull, the only 34-cent Neopost stamps showing this. The tagging is short, of the same length as that on varieties a-m and z, the Dallas and Warrenton sheets. There is no time zone indicium—an error. Although produced on May 24, 2002, the sheets show the first ad and have pink-orange tagging; as with the first ad sheets from Baltimore and Warrenton, the backing paper is darker than any of the other sheets produced without an ad or with the second ad. The $2.72 and $4.08 sets are ULS and are, along with the $2.72 variety l ULS set, the only ULS sets on sheets with the first ad. The flag is blue2. Every fifth sheet shows three dots in lower left flag; these sheets also show white dot under "www" of the ad and white line through "p" of "packages" of the ad. The lower left black bar does not reach the edge. On another every-fifth-sheet sequence, there is white dot on upper right black bar (the only right black bar variety on any Neopost stamps). Three sheets show tagging line, including one on the $4.08 set (the only ULS set with a tagging line). There is also an 8/12 eagle sheet and the second sheet of a $6.80 34-cent two-sheet ten-stamp sheet set.
123. $20000. Variety pp SCT. Superb.
