The Cents issue includes the only recorded pence and cents use to Germany, one of only two recorded uses to Algeria, the earliest registered transatlantic cover, the only recorded double-weight to Newfoundland, a 10¢ block of forty that is the largest used multiple of any pre-Confederation stamp and the largest 17¢ used multiple and a choice 10¢ black brown single.

Many of the above highlights have graced the finest collections of the past and the usages in particular have been illustrated in many of the definitive reference works.
