Lot# 4321 - 177-180 Auction

  • Lot# : 4321 Colombia

    20 centavos grey-blue, Second Stone, the complete mint sheet of 55 (5x11), showing the corrected positions 13 and 35, of usual slightly washed colour with a few tone spots primarily in upper margin and an insignificant inclusion towards position 45 in left margin, usual minor creasing to be expected, but a wonderful multiple of stunning appearance with full sheet margins on all four sides and nearly full original gum. Just four panes are recorded of the Second Stone, this being without doubt one of the finest.
    Provenance: Corinphila sale 80 (March 1990), lot 5571.
    Starting bid : 10,000 CHF
