NEWFOUNDLAND, 1857, 6p Scarlet Vermilion (6; SG 6). Unused (no gum), marvelously large margins to full at top left, margins the size of which are very rarely seen, exceptionally fresh color, a crisp and proof-like impression on particularly bright paper

EXTREMELY FINE GEM. WITHOUT QUESTION, THIS IS ONE OF THE FINEST UNUSED EXAMPLES OF THE SIX-PENCE SCARLET VERMILION IN EXISTENCE. THE OVERALL FRESHNESS AND SHEER SIZE OF THE MARGINS ARE INCOMPARABLE TO NEARLY ALL THE OTHERS WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED.

Any collector of Newfoundland is well aware of the difficulty in finding a large-margined 6p Scarlet Vermilion. After careful review of other major named sales, we had great difficulty in finding others that compare to the one offered here. Our Power Search reveals only two other unused examples (with and without gum), each with very tight margins to touching. Our census, available at our website at https://siegelauctions.com/census/newfoundland/scott/6 , records eleven unused, two with original gum and nine without. Of those, only six are sound with no others compare to the margins this stamp possesses.

Census no. 6-UNC-03. Ex Gross. With 1997 B.P.A. and 2009 P.F. certificates. Scott $27,500.00. SG £28,000. Unitrade C$30,000.00
