Rio De Oro
1907 Issue 3p blue green
(only seen as proof in pair with 4p) Sperati I reported only having seen a proof
impressions of a single 4p+3p se-tenant pair in the blue green color of
the 3p (a 4p cliché placed in a 3p plate) and proofs of three backprints.
This was made from separate clichés of 3p and 4p. Since that publication
a finished reproduction of the 4p has been found and is shown below. |
