Hello,
purchased an very old collection (many different countries) of revenues lately. I believe that this one here may be interesting "with history" piece. I´curious, is this stamp listed in any special catalogue and how is it priced? Maybe is a scan about catalogue page possible? Anyone?



Only information and only one picture I found from internet:

One piece more with "story":

Thank you forward!

Kaido

1. A 10 Bani rose is listed in both Michel (2005/2006) and
the 1974 CMPR catalog. Both catalogs agree that it was
printed in Moscow in 1917 and exist both perf & imperf. No
quantities are given. Michel prices it at 25 euros.

The 5 Bani green is not listed in either catalog.

2. From a set of 8, again printed in Moscow in 1917, again
existing both perf and imperf, and again with no quantities
given. The 2 Lei is priced in Michel at 180 euros.

Hello,

thank you for useful information, Jay!

5 Bani seems to be the lowest nominal in the set, 10 Bani is next in the row. Seems to me that its so rare stamp that it dont exist even for catalogues!?

10 Bani stamp has been sold at auction houses for 800 EUR as a pair (Michel price 25 per stamp?!) 5 bani must be many times rarer. Manwhile I have heard from an Romanian collector & special revenue catalog composer that he has seen this 5 bani green only 3 times in his life as imperforated and 4 times as perforated. I dont know if he has eer owned it. And he is so 50-60 years old..

In this page to which I linked at the beinning - there is said that "no further copies are known". So it now seems to be not fully correct. Can be that maybe only 5-7 copies still exist? Of course, quantities are hard to give because stamp was printed and then "entire" issue was officially destroyed (burned)...
