    15 c. blue, position 51 on the sheet of 70 subjects with variety: 'Without Accent', a fine unused example of this great rarity with broken outer frameline at right and at lower left and white dot in base of 'B' to confirm the plating position (see Kneitschel page 213), large margins all round, fresh and very fine unused. A great rarity of Argentine philately. Cert. Sismondo (2005) Gi. 9c = £ 5'500/Kneitchel 9/II = $ 8'000/Scott = $ 8'000.

    Note: According to V. Kneitschel, there are but 2 examples of this stamp recorded in unused condition, thus placing this stamp on a par with the unused 15 c. tête-bêche variety.
