Lot 30086 – 1872, 1 sen blue plate 1 on brittle laid paper, pos. 5

1872, 1 sen blue, plate 1, brittle laid paper, position 5 presenting “stroke missing in Sen” character, used with early non-standard handstamp, probably being the Osaka-Ken middle-size type. Usual centring and 2mm thin spot on reverse, barely detracting from this rare variety. (JSCA ¥500,000).
