Accompanied by certificates from Royal Philatelic Society (London, 1956), Raybaudi Experts (Rome, 1986), Martin Eichele (Basel, 2010) and Greene Foundation (Toronto, 2016). Worthy of the finest collection. Unitrade CV$8,000.
Lot 62 Canada #40 1877 10c dull rose lilac Small Queen, mint plate block of 8, with full original gum (bit disturbed). The centre block and the lower right stamp are never hinged. There is a 99% complete Boggs Type V plate inscription in the sheet margin at right (perforated through). Plate blocks of the first 10c printing are exceedingly rare, and we did not see any examples in the important Brigham, Nixon or Cantor Small Queen collections.
