97	O/	30 var	1890s 15c "Turquoise" Large Queen, a useful research lot which includes two items from the John Jamieson stock: a used "blue-green" shade (crease) and a mint (hr) "turquoise" shade, perforated 12, ex "Jura" collection (priced at $995). The latter is accompanied by a 2007 Greene Foundation certificate stating that it is a "colour faded, paper is toned", with Jamieson notes explaining what he suggests the stamp is. The stamps are accompanied by several supporting items, including a copy of the Morris Colour Guide listing the shade, a photocopy from "A Large Queen Report" by Hans Reiche explaining this shade as well as other documents detailing the sale of two "identical" other stamps from the J. Smith collection (both with Greene certificates stating "greenish grey" shades). Reading through this literature one can read that this shade is "exceedingly rare with only 2 or 3 known copies", or... A useful group for the Large Queen specialist.
