1-3

Selection of Better Used 5c to 15c First Issues, the 5c is represented by three singles and a pair showing at least three shades, the 10c is a single and the 15c is represented as two singles and a pair. These stamps were selected for having mostly large margins (three have sheet margins) as well as clean postmarks, with a variety of half-moon and circular datestamps from not only Amsterdam, but also Zetphen, Winterswijk, Sluis and Utrecht. Catalogue value is irrelevant here, as these are much better quality than is usually seen. A very fine group. (Scan 1) (Scan 2) (All Scans)
