Lot 4 British Columbia #5 5c Rose Queen Victoria, 1865 Cents Issue, A Fair Unused Single With Expert Rebacking

A fair unused single of the 5c rose Queen Victoria from the 1865 Cents Issue with expert rebacking.

The stamp appears VF with a small amount of toning, but upon close examination has been rebacked. The perfs were trimmed or pulled in seeral spots and then was concealed by glueing it to another perf 14 piece of unwatermarked paper. Quite ingenious, but backlighting reveals the repair. Net $75 against a cataloge valye of $250 for VG unused.

Unitrade doesn't list this variety, so our estimate is $75. The stamp offered here grades 40 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 50/70

Paper Freshness: 5/5

Colour: 5/5

Impression: 5/5

Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5

Perforations: 10/10

Adjustment for mentioned faults: -40 points.
