EXTREMELY FINE. A BEAUTIFUL ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1849 40-CENTIMES TYPE I IN THE BRIGHT ORANGE SHADE.

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE PAIR OF THE 1850 40-CENTIMES CERES ISSUE, WITH ONE STAMP SHOWING THE RETOUCHED "4". ONE OF THE GREAT RARITIES OF THE ISSUE.
Two different plates of 150 were used to print this issue. On these, Positions 146 and 147 of only one of them were retouched to widen the "4" of "40". The pair offered here, from Positions 145 and 146 and with a cancellation that leaves the retouching clearly visible, should be considered desirable.

Signed several times on back. Small purple backstamp at bottom left barely shows thru. Yvert e120,000 as no gum singles. Scott Retail as with gum (Image)

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ONE-FRANC PALE VERMILLION "VERVELLE" ISSUE.
