A F/VFUN example of the 5r brown from the 1858-1865 Helvetia Issue with green silk thread, thick ordinary paper. 2022 Scott Classic cat. $250. 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.
