Lot 257 Switzerland SC#25 5r Brown 1855-1857 Helvetia Issue, Black Silk Thread, Medium Thick Paper, A Very Good Used Example, Click on Listing to See ALL Pictures, Estimated Value $10 USD

A very good used example of the 5r brown from the 1855-1857 Helvetia Issue with black silk thread, medium thick paper. 2022 Scott Classic cat. $40. Our estimate of the value based on the condition is $10.

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.
