Superb U with 'Demerara 10 OC 1856', the coloured surface has couple tiny touched up areas as almost always for stamps of this issue while the design & paper are fully original & perfect, cut square with amazingly large margins on 4 sides, fantastic deep colour. Scott 14a cat US$40,000. SG 25 cat £40,000. & both relatively undercatalogued as the rose-carmine shade is many times rarer than the magenta shade. The amazingly huge margins definitely make it one of the best looking genuine examples of this famous classic rarity.
