Description
1872, 1/2 sen brown, Matsuda printing, type III, plate 4, position 23 not presenting the stroke in the “Ki-Hansen” character, perforations barely encroaching the frame line at right, mounted mint and very fresh.
A fine example of the most prominent plate variety of this value, of much greater scarcity than any of the other five constant flaws which occurred in the plates. (JSCA 9v-4-23 ¥420,000; Michel €2,800).
