Japan stamp sells for 5.4 million euros
Copied from David Feldman S.A. Facebook account:
On Saturday, June 3, we had the great honour to offer one of the most important Japanese stamp collections including the most valuable stamp of Asia: the 500 mon Inverted Center, which has been sold for a world record price of 5.4 million Euros*.
An Asian gentleman, bidding via phone, was delighted to become the buyer. The underbidder, an esteemed European collector, was very disappointed to be outbid. He said, “I had prepared my bid as high as 4 million Euros and even made a few more steps, but now I must congratulate the new owner!”.
