Lot 20434 – Tuscany Provisional Government 1860 3l yellow very fine hinged mint

1860 3L yellow-ochre, four good to large margins, even showing small part of stamp to right, an exceedingly fine and fresh example with lightly hinged original gum. A truly splendid example and a very rare opportunity to acquire this world rarity.

Expertise: Cert. Calves (2013), cert. Bottacchi (2014) which states “one of the three finest examples“, cert. Eichele (2013) which states “Sassone publishes a list of the greatest rarities from Tuscany and lists the unused 3 L. from the Champion Collection. This stamp is far superior in quality to the Champion example“, and cert. Dr Avi (2014) which states “without doubt the one of the best mint examples existing of this world rarity“.
