FINE. A BREATHTAKING MULTIPLE THAT IS, BY FAR, THE LARGEST KNOWN MULTIPLE OF THE ONE-SILBERGROSCHEN FIRST ISSUE. IN ADDITION TO BEING THE MOST IMPORTANT PHILATELIC ITEM IN LUXEMBOURG PHILATELY, THIS SHOWPIECE IS ALSO ONE OF THE GREATEST CLASSIC IMPERFORATE MULTIPLES IN EXISTENCE. AN ESSENTIAL ITEM IF ONE WISHES TO BUILD AN INTERNATIONAL LARGE GOLD MEDAL COLLECTION OF LUXEMBOURG.
This stunning piece last appeared on the marketplace nearly 32 years ago in the October 1982 Corinphila sale of the Grand Prix International Collection of Luxembourg formed by Isac Seligson. At that auction, Mr. Houser acquired this piece for 75,000SF (approximately $40,000.00 at that time) – representing the highest price ever paid for a philatelic item for Luxembourg – a record which still stands today.
Signed W. Balasse and with a 1981 Demuth certificate (Image)
