Sound and choice "Sock on the Nose" used example of the Scott Classic (#25) and Michel catalogue (Mi #22b) listed deep orange (Scott) /deep yellow orange (Michel) shade of the 1862 issue 30 Kreutzer perf 10 x 10 high value. The crisp and legible "UEBERLINGEN 4 JAN '65" postmark, as well as the "SCHAFER" guarantee handstamp add significantly to the used value and appeal of this German State classic and the "ist echt" Stegmuller photo certificate is the "icing on the cake". Valued in the 2019 Michel catalogue at 3,200 euros (= $4,720.00 CAD). This stamp will be at home in any top flight German collection and is, needless to say, missing from most German area collections we see. 2023 Scott Classic US$2,250.00 =
