Here as a "MINT NEVER HINGED (MNH)" Set of perforated single stamps without hinge and/or hinge rests, gum as issued, darkened / stained, WITHOUT CERTIFICATE!
Issue Notice:
- MiNo. 6 was overprinted with 5 different types (in RED). Very rare is the overprint in "BLACK"
- In addition, the "BASIC STAMP" are different, analogous to the MiNo. 1 PLATE 1-3 and in perforation 15 and 14 1/2
- Altogether there are about 30 different variations of this issue.
- OUR NUMBERING FOR BETTER DIFFERENTIATION:
- 6 AI-I-I corresponds to AI = 15 perforation; I = PLATE 1; I = overprint with Type I
- 6 AII-II-II corresponds to AII = 14 1/2 perforation; II = PLATE 2; II = overprint with type II etc.
- The exact variation can be found in our item description under: "Here as ....."
- ISSUES UP TO approx. 1950:
- (MH/MLH) / (*) - Mint / unused with hinges, hinge remains, incomplete gum, tropical gum etc.
- (MNH) / (**) - Mint never hinged and/or without hinge remnants, complete gum as issued, possibly darkened.
- CERTIFICATE / CERTIFICATION:
- On request and against payment of costs (approx. 50€) we will be happy to have a certificate issued by P.A.T. Bangkok.
- However, this can take up to 5 months, since the P.A.T. committee only meets every 3 months.
