Lot 3056 France Cérès 1849
- Scott8c
- Yvert7A
Description
France, 1849, 1fr Pale Vermilion "Vervelle" (Yvert 7A; Scott 8c).
Unused (without gum as always), huge margins to ample at right,
radiant color on bright paper
VERY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-FRANC PALE VERMILION
"VERVELLE" ISSUE. RARELY ENCOUNTERED WITH FOUR MARGINS AND
COMPLETELY SOUND.
This issue is nicknamed for a French stamp dealer named Ernest
Vervelle, who bought an ungummed sheet of the stamps in 1895 from
the printer Anatole A. Hulot. These are typically found with thins
to varying degrees -- so much so that Yvert makes specific mention
of this. To find an example with four margins and completely sound
is quite remarkable.
Signed Behr. With 2006 Calves certificate. Yvert €32,000. Scott
$20,000
