5008 og ImageFRANCE, 1849, 1fr Dull Orange Red (Vermillon Terne) on Yellowish Paper (8a; Yvert 7b). Original gum, full to mostly large margins on all four sides, gorgeous color that is noted as "an exceptionally bright shade" on the accompanying Calves certificate

VERY FINE. A CHOICE ORIGINAL GUM EXAMPLE OF THE RAREST STAMP OF THE FIRST ISSUE OF FRANCE.

The 1849 1-Franc stamp comes in two basic shades, Vermilion (Scott No. 8) and Carmine (Scott No. 9), with each having several sub-shades. This Dull Orange Red shade is from the Vermilion group, which is far rarer than the Carmine. In fact, this is one of the key rarities for someone trying to collect France in original gum condition.
