A good used example of the 02r brown from the 1854 Helvetia Issue with emerald silk thread, thin paper. 2022 Scott Classic cat. $1750. Our estimate of the value based on the condition is $175.

As noted in Scott Classic, full margins on the imperforate Helvetia issues is a mere 1/4mm, which are extremely narrow indeed. VF in Scott is three full margins and one margin touching or very slightly into the design. So our grading is based on that standard.
