EXTREMELY FINE. AN ENORMOUSLY RARE MIXED-FRANKING OF THE FIRST TWO ISSUES OF LUXEMBOURG - ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED - BEING IN A CONDITION THAT SIMPLY COULD NOT BE IMPROVED UPON. ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHT’S OF THE HOUSER COLLECTION AND ONE OF THE KEY RARITIES OF LUXEMBOURG.
Generally, the first issue of Luxembourg ceased usage in 1860. The 30c Coat of Arms was delivered for postal usage on September 21, 1859. Thus creating a very small window where stamps from both issues could possibly be used in combination with one another.

VERY FINE AND WONDERFULLY CHOICE. THIS PIECE, AND THE COVER OFFERED IN THE PREVIOUS LOT, ARE THE ONLY TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF MIXED FRANKINGS BETWEEN THE FIRST TWO ISSUES OF LUXEMBOURG. THIS PIECE, OF COURSE, BEING THE UNIQUE MIXED FRANKING USAGE WITH THE ONE-SILBERGROSCHEN STAMP. THIS PIECE AND THE AFOREMENTIONED COVER TOGETHER WOULD CREATE AN INCREDIBLE EXHIBITION PAGE.
Last offered at auction in a September 1985 Corinphila sale, as part of the Large Gold Medal Collection formed by Juan Del Puente. With 1985 Demuth certificate (Image)
