Lot 233
o
Samoa, 1914, 5d on 40pf black and carmine, error of value "3d" instead of "5d" and comma after "I" (SG 107 var./ Gibbs 7A var.), well centered, lightly cancelled by c.d.s. Very Fine. An incredible variety of immense rarity. Michel 7 var.
Estimate 7,500 - 10,000
GIBBS RECORDS ONLY ONE EXAMPLE, WHICH IS USED, OF THE ERROR OF VALUE. THIS IS THE SECOND SUCH EXAMPLE EXCEPT IT ALSO HAS THE COMMA AFTER "I" VARIETY AND IS, THEREFORE, UNIQUE.
Expertization: Signed Hoffman-Giesecke, 1969 Philatelic Foundation and 1983 Bühler Certificates.
