Lot 52 Newfoundland #84-85 4c&5c Violet & Blue Duchess Of York & Duke Of York, 1897-1901 Royal Family Issue, 2 Fine Unused Singles With Different Horizontal Wove Papers
2 fine unused singles of the 4c&5c violet & blue Duchess Of York & Duke Of York from the 1897-1901 Royal Family Issue with different horizontal wove papers.
The 4c is on thin, rough horizontal wove paper & the 5c is stout horizontal wove paper. The 5c has a little bit of gum, but not enough for me to class it as OG.

Paper Freshness: 5/5
