Lot 21 Switzerland SC#50a 1fr Yellow Bronze Seated Helvetia, 1862-1864 Seated Helvetia Issue, A Very Fine Used Single, Beautifully Centered, Lightly Cancelled Example
A very fine used single of the 1fr yellow bronze Seated Helvetia from the 1862-1864 Seated Helvetia Issue, beautifully centered, lightly cancelled example.
I have verified this shade by comparing to the basic gold shade and the 60c bronze of lot 20. This shade is closer to bronze than to gold. I considered that it might be oxidized gold, but even the lightest part is more bronzy tone compared to the gold.
Scott values this at $620. The stamp offered here grades 84 as follows:
