at top and bottom, close but clear margins at sides, trivial thin spot, horizontal creaseFINE APPEARANCE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 5-CENTAVOS LITHOGRAPH WITH TRANSFER FLAW. An unused example of the 5c Lithograph with another type of transfer flaw (Blank 5/Vt 5/16) was recently sold by David Feldman S.A. for Euros 20,000 (four times the printed estimate). It was described as the only known unused example of that particular transfer flaw. The stamp offered here is probably the only unused example of 5/Vt 3/3 extant, and unused Lithographs with any of the transfer flaws are great rarities. Ex Galvez (Image Magnifier) |
