Lot# 818 - Auction 234-243

1857 (May 26): Embossed 1 s. buff, a used example with good margins all round, cancelled with part oval handstamp, the cancellation bringing out the embossed value very clearly for this issue, slight embossing split at top and pinhole do not detract from an attractive example of this rare stamp. Cert. BPA (2006) Gi = £ 5'500.
