65		25	#25, 3c Brownish carmine, Ty.

73		32	#32, 10c Green, Ty. II, an exceptionally rare and seldom offered mint example, with bright color and a detailed impression, fairly well centered, full o.g., minor h.r., just the faintest trace of a horizontal crease at top (more accurately described as a bend), fine; certified original gum examples of this stamp are quite elusive; 1996 PF certificate and a clear 1996 PSE certificate; ex-Lessin.
