Lot no. 1839

1867, Wove paper, Medio real on white, horizontal block of 20, full to mostly large margins, unused without gum. Some light toning, one vertical and one horizontal crease not affecting the stamps, otherwise very fine. Even unused single copies of this stamp are very rare; this is by far the largest recorded unused multiple of this stamp (followed by a strip of three and a pair ) and the largest recorded of all Guadalajara Provisional issues. An outstanding item of a 'number 1'. Certificate MEPSI (2004)
