A very good/fine used example of the 20r pale orange from the 1854-1855 Helvetia Issue with emerald silk thread, medium thick paper. 2022 Scott Classic cat. $200. Our estimate of the value based on the condition is $75.

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.
