French Indochina Banque de l'Indo-Chine, Haiphong 1 Piastre 1901 (ND 1909-21) Pick 13b PMG Very Fine 25. The Haiphong overprint is seen at upper left. The inks are a deep maroon, which allows the minor rust to nearly disappear into the background. We know of no surviving example offered at auction that was problem free, even the Very Fine 35 in the Ruth Hill collection that realized nearly $1,300. From the Yuri Solovey Collection of Banque de l'Indochine
