Korea
1884 Moon Issue
1884 (26 Nov.) small piece bearing horizontal pairs of 5m. rose-pink and 10m. light blue, each cancelled by a central strike of Inchon single-circle datestamp; the piece has been folded between each stamp and one 10m. with short tear at left. These are the only recorded multiples of this issue and the small faults in no way detract from the importance of this, the premiere item of Korean philately. A stunning and extraordinary exhibition item of the highest caliber
