1849-52 Ceres 1Fr vermilion ('vermilion pale') on yellowish paper, being the so called 'Vervelle' shade. Fresh UN, expertly rebacked to repair thins, 4 large original margins & superb appearance. SG 16 cat £110,000 for M, Maury 7D cat €32,500 for UN. Yv 7A cat €22,500 specifically for UN example with thins. Major rarity in unused condition as the 1Fr vermilion is the rarest classic stamp of France. It was withdrawn after short period of use due to getting confused with the 40c value due to colours appearing similar in the poor indoor lighting conditions of the 1849 period, & then accordingly replaced with the 1Fr red-brown color. This very stamp sold in our auction 243 for $22,000 + buyers commission! 2022 Scheller photo cert. (P) (Image1)
