1807

HUNGARY, 1868, 1k Blue, Newspaper Tax Stamp (PR2B). Original gum, large balanced margins all around, deep rich shade, sharp impression on fresh paper

EXTREMELY FINE. AN OUTSTANDING EXAMPLE OF THE 1868 ONE-KREUZER NEWSPAPER TAX STAMP. EASILY THE FINEST EXAMPLE OF THE RAREST AND MOST DESIRABLE STAMP OF HUNGARY.

The Newspaper Tax stamps were used to collect a fiscal tax rather than pay postage. This, coupled by the fact that this stamp was only issued for the Military Border District, means unused examples are practically non-existent. Specialists suggest that a mere 10-12 examples exist with the vast number in used and faulty condition. We have been unable to locate another unused example, let alone one in sound condition.

Signed A. Diena and Friedl. With 1983 Ferchenbauer certificate. (Image)
