Lot 30255 – Bergedorf 1861 1/2s black on blue complete mint sheet of 200

1861 1/2s black on blue complete mint sheet of 200, as to be expected from a multiple of this size, there are small stains on the gum and some fold residues, as well as folded in the middle and minimally separated at the bottom, the Jakubek cert. points out the freshness and rarity, being one of only three known complete sheets from 1867. A great rarity of Bergedorf and German States, as complete sheets of first issue stamps are hardly available.

Expertise: Cert. Jakubek (2001).

Provenance: Shanahan’s, 1959
