Lot 40642 – THE LARGEST KNOWN MULTIPLE OF THE 300 REIS IN USED CONDITION

THE LARGEST KNOWN MULTIPLE OF THE 300 REIS IN USED CONDITION

1846, 300r black, fine impression, vertical pair with clear to mainly very good margins, with portions of adjoining stamps at right, lightly cancelled by “Correio Geral da Corte” cds’s leaving the design quite clear. Small thin spot at base. The largest multiple recorded of this denomination, of which only four are recorded. This example is not listed by Walter G. Taveira in his handbook. A great rarity of the “Inclinados” issues, as this is the rarest denomination with multiples in used condition.
