#35 var., 1919 5M Viking Ship, Center Inverted, four huge margins, bright and fresh, o.g., extremely fine; Scott recently has delisted this item, apparently
because they believed these were made years after the issuance of the stamp, but it is now believed (and as evidenced by the example on cover offered in the next lot) that a small number of the inverted centers were printed contemporaneously with the
issued stamps (Michel #13xKF). (Image) |
