Scott $13,000
A MOST HANDSOME EXAMPLE OF THIS RARE PROVISIONAL IN FAR BETTER CONDITION THAN MANY OF THE OTHER EXAMPLES ON THIS EXCEEDINGLY FRAGILE PAPER.
Expertization: 1980 PF Certificate.
Scott states that the values listed for pelure paper issues reflects the usual poor condition of these stamps— attractive examples with minor defects (such as the present example) sell for considerably more.
