Description from the seller
Two Sassone No. 1 10-cent stamps - both new with original, intact gum (MNH) - two Diena certificates dated 26 April 2024
Selected together comprising TWO 10-cent stamps for Italian postal-usage recognition books, issued 1874, featuring Vittorio Emanuele II, both catalogued as Sassone No. 1.
Both stamps are accompanied by Diena certificates and are declared original, with intact original gum and perfect condition.
The first stamp is described in the certificate as EXCEPTIONALLY CENTRED and signed "RD". The Sassone 2025 catalogue reference indicated for this level of centring is € 1,375.00.
The second stamp is described in the certificate as WELL CENTRED. The Sassone 2025 catalogue reference indicated is € 900.00. The certificate also reports the phrase "I signed it RD"; in the current reverse photograph the signature is not clearly visible, while the offered stamp corresponds to the item reproduced photographically in the certificate. This circumstance is expressly stated for maximum transparency.
Total catalogue value indicated: € 2,275.00.
Provenance: private collection.
Photos of the two certificates, the fronts and the reverses constitute an integral part of the description and allow direct assessment of centring, perforations, gum, and overall condition.
Careful and protected shipping, with packaging suitable for preserving philatelic material.
A particularly interesting lot: two stamps from the same issue, both certified by the same expert, with two different levels of centring expressly certified.
