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« .
