EXCEPTIONALLY RARE ORIGINAL-GUM EXAMPLE OF THE 1880 2-SHILLINGS
BROWN. A NOTORIOUSLY DIFFICULT ORIGINAL-GUM STAMP TO ACQUIRE --
PARTICULARLY THIS FRESH. In 1879 the Universal Postal Union
recommended establishing an international color standard for stamps
in the basic UPU rates. This required changing the 2½p to Blue, but
that conflicted with the then-current 2sh color. Brown was selected
as the replacement color, and De La Rue printed a new batch of
stamps which were released in Feb. 1880. The stamps were withdrawn
on July 16, 1880, creating a period of about six months when these
stamps were on sale. The short-lived sale period of the 2sh Brown
explains its rarity, particularly in unused condition. Ex Rietz.
