 Lot 70107 - rarities of the world - David Feldman S.A. special Jubilee Auction #203 - EURRUSSIA - MINT NUMBER ONE 1857 10k Brown and blue, plate II, imperforate, with excellent colours, showing exceptionally large and even margins, unused and with full original gum (except for the hinge area), a fine example of this rare and legendary stamp. (Mi. 1, Standard 1 ?62?000 for (*), Liapin 1, ?85?000 for (*)=*, Zverev & Gilmanov 1II, ?150?000 for (*) Expertise: The Philatelic Foundation of New York (PF) in 2016; The Royal Philatelic Society of London (RPSL) in 2014, both using VSC6000 equipment; and Jeffrey H. Luber, Forensic Document Examiner (Diplomate, American Board of Forensic Document Examiners), using VSC2000 and Stereomicroscopy in 2011. Note: Special attention was directed to the white-yellow gum on the back. All three made a determination that the gum on the back was original. PF said, ?Using side lighting the gum was viewed at several levels of magnifications. The consistency of the cracking matched gum on stamps of that age. Regumming was not evident? and concluded that ?it was original gum.? RPSL stated that it was not regummed and that the gum remaining ?is original to the stamp? This lot is sold solely on the basis of the Philatelic Foundation and Royal Philatelic Society certificates only and is not subject to reclamations. Estimate: ? 20'000 - ? 30'000 David Feldman S.A.

 Lot 70097 - rarities of the world - David Feldman S.A. Special Jubilee Auction #203 - Euro (€)One of the Rarest Classic Stamps of Europe 1858-61 80 Parale Red on greenish-blue paper, an impressive unused example of this Second Issue rarity, mint with full brownish original gum, very large even margins all around, stunningly fresh, a superb item for the true connoisseur of quality as well as rarity Expertise: Certificate A. Diena (as blue pelure paper) and Heimbüchler (2008; see "Note" below) Note: the Heimbüchler certificate clearly states this stamp is NOT on the "normal" lilac-bluish paper, which is exceptionally rare (reportedly 3 unused known), but on an even scarcer unrecorded greenish-blue paper, "Possibly a rare shade between, which happened when different papers were bought and used by the printing office." Such a distinction is primarily of academic interest. In any case, it is NOT the yellowish-white paper on which nearly all unused examples are found, and may well be UNIQUE on this shade of blue paper. Background: Heimbüchler (Handbook I) states, "the 80 parale on bluish paper is surprisingly rare...even rarer than the unused 81 parale of the first Moldavia issue" (only 35 recorded, with only 25 seen since 1950). Provenance: Tomasini Estimate: ? 20'000 - ? 30'000 David Feldman S.A. Special Jubilee Auction #203 - Euro (€)rarities of the world |
