 1859 Provisional Govt. 80c orange yellow (Scott 16), bottom margin horizontal pair, o.g., hinged, fresh and sound, free from
hidden faults or repairs, with distinct orange color and large margins well clear of the framelines on all sides, Very Fine to Extremely Fine, a very rare mint multiple with sheet margin, signed Sismondo, with his 2022 certificate.
Sassone
18c.
Scott $16,400 as singles.
The total print run for the 80c stamp was 2400, only 68 of which were sold and presumably all used on correspondence. Upon the arrival of Kingdom of Italy stamps at the end of March 1860, the remaining
2332 examples were returned to the Parma head office. These stamps are from those returned. We have not found another such sheet margin example in any prestige auction catalogue. A one-of-a-kind item worthy of an advanced collection or
exhibit. . (Image)
