THE TRUE "PINK" SHADE IS QUITE RARE IN THIS OUTSTANDING CONDITION.

Expertization: 1989 P.F. Certificate.

Most pinks on the market suffer from several maladies: they are misidentified (unfortunately a quite frequent occurrence), they are off center; the color is weak; they have faults due to the fragile nature of the paper used for the issue. The above example suffers from none of these.
