AN OUTSTANDING USED SINGLE OF THIS MAJOR PRINTING VARIETY AND THE ONLY RECORDED EXAMPLE. CONSIDERABLY UNDERCATALOGUED ESPECIALLY WHEN COMPARED TO THE $100,000 CATALOGUE VALUE OF THE 3C 1869 PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES, OF WHICH TWO ARE KNOWN.
Expertization: 1997 P.F. Certificate.
This stamp, which was the listing copy, was discovered over 35 years ago and no others have been found. The catalogue value is from a sale at auction in the mid 1990s.
