Lot 2 British Columbia #3 5c Rose Queen Victoria, 1865 Cents Issue, A Good Used Single With Authenticity Certificate
A good used single of the 5c rose Queen Victoria from the 1865 Cents Issue with authenticity certificate.
The certificate is signed by the late Harry Sutherland, and states that the stamp is thinned. However, no dark spots are visible when the stamp is placed in fluid. There are some rough spots at UL and LR, but they aren't deep enough to cause visible thinning. So we think the certificate is somewhat harsh. Two ample margins, one close and quite significant at bottom.
Unitrade values a fine quality stamp at $5000, so a good quality should be around $2500. The stamp offered here grades 50 as follows:
Centering/Margins: 20/60
Paper Freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5
Perforations: 10/10
Cancellation: 10
Adjustment for mentioned faults: -10 points.
