  • Lot# : 4436 Guatemala

    1871 (March 1): 5 c. deep brown on buff, an unused block of fifteen from the lower right corner of the sheet, positions 125-130 / 145-150, Imperforate and with full gum in a vivid deep impression, but with white flaw on positions 135 and 145 leading to the sheet being rejected with manuscript pen line through four stamps. An extraordinary item - this rejected sheet is printed in a much darker shade than the issued listed Imperforates and possibly came from a pre-gummed Trial.
