Lot 80825 – Provisional Government. 1860 3L ochre-yellow, a very fine used example

ONE OF THE FINEST 3 LIRE EXAMPLES USED

Provisional Government. 1860 3L ochre-yellow, a used example just lightly touched in part of the right margin, complete at left, large to huge margins on other two sides, being outstandingly well margined for this stamp which is mostly found cut into, infrequently vivid colour, showing two strikes of the “Per Consegna” straight-line handstamp. One of the finest examples in existence of this very scarce stamp, as a result of its colour, margins and the clean and neat cancellation. Certs. A. Diena (1947) and Enzo Diena (1981), both stating this “to be considered as one of the best known”. Sassone €220,000.
