NVPH 29 Koning Willem III from the Netherlands in postfris/unused condition with original gum and a certificate from Henk Vleeming.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

NVPH 29 mint/unused with original gum, without hinge remnants, with quality marks on the gum side. Well perforated, nice color and for this issue neatly centered. The stamp has no hinge ever and is therefore mint in that sense. However, the stamp has a few lightly dried gum spots. This happens more often and it’s then a bit of a gray area as to whether such a stamp qualifies as mint or still unused; after all, the stamp was not issued with these lightly dried gum spots. On the other hand, this stamp is over 150 years old, this occurs more often with the gum of this issue, and the stamp never had a hinge. In my opinion such a stamp can still be called mint, but this is up to each person to decide. The examiner Henk Vleeming who certified this stamp leaves this undecided.

Obviously this stamp is worth more than an unused stamp with hinge residue(s).

Attest Henk Vleeming: "Stamp and perforation genuine, gum original with some dried spots. On the reverse
3 marks/stamps, with ratings Richter and A. Brun. Although as usual a tiny brownish spot, a fresh stamp without defects", dated 08-06-2019.
See the scans.

Catalog value for mint € 7,200.00 (NVPH 2026) and for unused € 1,500.00 (NVPH 2026).
