Description

1863. COAT OF ARMS DIE PROOF of the model used by the ABNCo for the first issue, Scott 1-4. On the issued stamps, the basic "arms" design of two oceans, each with a sailing ship, and the country inbetween with five stars above was adhered to. The most noticable variation wa to change the smoking volcanos into more peaceful mountains. Ex-Scriba collection. Tone spots at places o/w Fine, very fine. Still, unique and a major rarity.
