CANADA, 1859, 6p Brown Violet, Perf 11-3/4 (13; SG 27). Original gum, incredibly bright color, crisp well-incised impression on fresh paper, minute pinhole in left margin which in no way detracts from this stamp's exceptional overall appearance and is barely noticeable

VERY FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1859 6-PENCE PERFORATED ISSUE.

The first perforated series of Canada invariably comes with perforations touching on at least one side due to the very narrow margins between stamps. This is only the third original-gum example we have offered in the last twenty years and possesses, by far, the finest overall appearance and freshness of this tiny population.

Ex King Carol Collection. Signed Bloch. With 1983 B.P.A. certificate. Unitrade C$25,000.00. SG £18,000
