Losnr. : 1153 Sierra Leone
1897: 2½ d. on 2 s. dull purple, overprinted SG type 11, a magnificent mint example of excellent centering and colour, fresh and fine, large part original gum. An extremely rare stamp in superlative condition. Ex collection Tompkins (lot 1240, 2006). Signed Bloch. Cert. Friedl (1983) and RPS (1971) Scott 62 = $ 11'500/Gi = £ 11'000.
Note: Just 240 of the 2 shilling stamp were overprinted, the set-up of 30 in the overprinting process gives just 4 stamps with this overprint type in each frame of 30 overprinted. Thus only 32 examples of this stamp can exist of which only 26 have been recorded mint and 3 used by Frank Walton.Ausruf : 4.000 CHFZuschlag : 9.500 CHF
