 12c Black, Part India Paper (17
var.). Unused (no gum), clear to huge margins incl. significant portion
of adjoining stamp at left, bright shadeVERY FINE. A RARE UNUSED EXAMPLE OF THE 12-CENT 1851 ISSUE ON PART INDIA PAPER. A review of our computerized records indicates that, apart from the original-gum block of nine offered in our auction of the "J & J" Collection (Sale 899), we have only offered one other unused single, which also did not have gum. We have also offered six used singles. The absence of gum is almost necessary when offered as a single, in order to correctly identify the variety. With 2001 P.F. certificate. Unpriced in Scott as unused. Scott Catalogue assigns a premium of 3.14 for the more common used part-India paper ($1,100.00 versus $350.00 for normal). If Scott Catalogue assigned the same premium to the no gum single price (which still would not account for its greater rarity in unused condition), this would catalogue $7,540.00. (Image) |
