Second Issue Proof Hoard. A rainbow's worth of 1865 Federal "Second Bill Issue" imperforate trial colour proofs, all on india paper. These were produced as reference items by the American Bank Note Company. This particular group of proofs is from a collection that predates by many decades the material that came to market after the 1990 Christie's ABNC Archives sale. Some minor toning spots of minor faults on a few stamps noted for the record. These particular proofs were most likely originally affixed to printer’s working index cards and are most probably much scarcer than the material that is referenced in the Van Dam catalogue. 36 x lower values and 7 x dollar+ values in the group, all different for denomination or colour.
