Mâine, la David Feldman SUA

Licitaţia programată pentru mâine (pe care am anunţat-o acum ceva timp) va avea în ofertă trei piese româneşti deosebite, pe care vi le prezint mai jos. Vă voi oferi descrierile originale, făcute în cataloagele firmei, eu neavând (deocamdată) niciun comentariu pe marginea lor.


Lot 20147 - A Beautiful “Bull”
1858,  27 Parale black on rose, large margins, neatly cancelled by blue-green double-circle “BERLAD 11/8 MOLDOVA” cds, two light corner creases well outside design, Very Fine and rare. Only 5 examples are known used from Berlad. Expertise: Heimbüchler certificate
Estimate: $10,000 - $15,000


Lot 20148 - Exceptional Used Example
1854 (sic! - au greşit-o cu numai 4 ani!) 54 Parale green on blue green, a superlative example with outsized even margins and partial face-free “FOKSCANI / MOLDOVA” double-circle d.s., excellent fresh color and essentially sound (trivial imperfections at extreme edges, faint trace of horizontal bend), Extremely Fine and with distinguished provenance. Background: Heimbüchler census 316/1 (wrongly attributed to Caspary). Expertise: Signed Friedl, A. Diena, E. Diena, Sorani and others, with Heimbüchler certificate.
Provenance: A. Rothschild (1948), Amundsen (1969, described as “truly a ‘Connoisseur’s’ stamp”)
Estimate: $5,000 - $8,000

Romania, 2L Bright Blue 1930 AirPost with Inverted Overprint, pos. 16 and 17 (left pair in fourth row) of a complete sheet of 50 with 48 normal stamps, caused when the two stamps became separated from the sheet, reattached with hinges upside down, then the overprint applied, otherwise intact, original gum which is mostly Never Hinged, corner stamps with rounded corners and few toned spots affecting top row, Very Fine, 1981 Friedl certificate signed by Herbert Bloch, pane signed by renowned experts Aimé Brun and Rudolf Zoscsak.
Considering the overprint is “8 Iunie (June) 1930” (the date of the coronation of King Karol II), it is believed to have been part of Karol’s vast collection. Karol II abdicated in 1940 and died in 1953.
The overprint error is listed in the 1966 Sanabria so it must have been known to the philatelic community at that time, but we do not know its sale history prior to 1980. The pane has been offered to the market only twice in the last 30 years. In 1980, it appeared in a Sotheby’s New York auction and was purchased by the late Herbert Klein. When the Klein estate was sold in 1996 by Christies London, the current owner acquired it, and has kept it off the market until today.
826 sheets were overprinted in 1930, all of which had a horizontal watermark, and only the complete sheets of fifty were overprinted. (Aici s-ar impune o corecţie...)
With only two known examples, this is the rarest overprint error in the world.
Accompanied by December 2009 Gibbons Stamp Monthly article about the pane. The pane was only shown once – at World Stamp Expo 2000 as part of the owner’s collection of Man’s History of Flight that won the Prix d’Honneur in the Court of Honor.
Estimate on request.

Preţurile sunt în dolari SUA. Despre coala Raiu, probabil o să fac câteva remarci după încheierea licitaţiei şi publicarea preţului de achiziţie (dacă se va vinde şi, bineînţeles, dacă acesta va fi făcut public).
