AFRICA – Sc #85 – ATTACHED PAIR - MINT-NH

Value = 3p
Color = Blue & Deep Blue
Faults = See Comments
My Grade = VF
Comments = The gum on each stamp has developed small
spots/areas of beige toning. On some stamps this toning is almost non-existent
while on some the toning is as stated small spots but these spots are more
obvious. For some strange reason these spots tend to develop near the perfs and
as a result the tips of some perfs turn a light beige.Overall the stamps are still quite pleasing.
