Lot 3066 France Cérès 1849
- Scott9Footnote
- Yvert8A
Description
France, 1849, 25c on 20c Blue, Red Surcharge (Yvert 8A; Scott 9
Footnote). Original gum, very minor h.r., full balanced margins,
bold color and sharp impression
VERY FINE. A CHOICE AND DESIRABLE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1849
25-CENTIMES ON 20-CENTIMES SURCHARGE. A MAJOR FRENCH ESSAY
RARITY.
The 20c value (Yvert 8; Scott 4) was printed but not regularly
issued due to the rate change from 20c to 25c which made the stamp
unnecessary. A trial essay surcharge of "25c" was created but was
ultimately rejected.
With 1988 Calves certificate. Yvert €33,000. Footnoted in Scott but
unpriced
