IVORY COAST, 1903, 1fr on 10c Gray Brown, Ty. "h" Surcharge
(Q20; Yvert CP8C; Maury CP10 IX). Original gum, large to
full
margins including sheet margins at bottom and right,
intensely rich color
VERY FINE. THE UNIQUE EXAMPLE OF SCOTT NO. 20 - THE
SINGULAR
COPY THAT WAS PRINTED.
While there are a few major catalogue number stamps in the
world
of which only one is known - there are practically no others in
which only one was produced. It can only happen when one stamp in
a
setting is noticeably different from the rest. And still to
produce
a unique stamp, only one sheet with that different stamp could
be
printed. Such is the case with the Ivory Coast 1fr on 10c
Parcel
Post. The 3rd setting contained the "UN" surcharges. Twenty are
the
thin surcharge (Scott Q19; Yvert 8B), four are the thin
surcharge
without circumflex (Yvert 8Ba), and one (position 25) has the
thick
surcharge. Only one pane was ever printed.
After the fall of the hammer of this lot, only one collector
in
the world will be able to fill that long empty space in their
album.
Signed Calves and J.F. Brun. With 1998 Behr and 2004 Calves
certificates. Scott $46,000.00. Unpriced in Yvert and Maury.
However Stanley Gibbons prices it at £49,000.
