1939, Unissued 2p and 5p Airmails (Edifil NE39s-42s, NE43p-45p), 5p values on laid paper, large margins and bright colors, without gum as issued, Extremely Fine and rare. Edifil €13,825 for 2005 ($14,930).
Expertization: 1976 Comex Certificate.
These 2p and 5p stamps were to be the high values of a proposed set of five airmails. However, the end of the Civil War resulted in the set never being issued.
The Edifil value for this set perforated went from €15,000 in 2005 to €17,500 in the 2007 basic Edifil catalogue, a rise of 16.7%. The imperf set is not listed in the basic catalog. If we assumed that the imperf set would have increased by the same percentage, the current Edifil value would be €16,125 ($21,787).
