Not sure what you mean by 'estimate' archiguy.
What catalogue number are you quoting? |

Thanks for that.
Still don't know what you mean by 'estimate'. The genuineness? The value? |

It is expensive and Rare stamp : according Catalog. I am not knowing what real price of this stamp in no good condition as never collect French Ceres stamps. How this condition of stamp can decrease price of rare French stamp. |

The repair will reduce the value by as much as 90% in my opinion. Possibly more.
The scissor cut in the top margin, if the stamp were mine, would be tidied up.
It is a rather presentable example of the stamp so that does work in its favour. |

I'm slightly confused. My Yvert lists 42A (Report 1) and 42B (Report 2). It only lists vert-jaune under 42A. 42B includes seven shades, including 42B e (vert tres fonce). Yours looks like report 2 to me (white line to rear of head), but I'm no expert. |

For new collectors or new readers here ------ This is a special stamp , it has a special place in Philatelic History .
I have a seperate album page in my French collection for such stamps .True it has a greatly reduce value ,most serious collectors would reject this stamp .
The original owner said it has been repaired --True ! But it is the hole in the center of the stamp that makes it special .
That damage stamp has a PIN HOLE in it !
That pin holes tells me it was up for sale in Paris at the Paris Bourse in 1860 's or 1880's , that is a mounting /display hole put there buy a seller on a display board .
Worthless ,close but I still collect them . |

This also looks like report 2 (Yt 42B) to me, of a typical shade, not vert tres fonce (extremely strong green). So CV of 165 Euros - good condition examples can be found on Delcampe for a wide range from $30-$100+ (depending on cancel rarity, shade, etc.). |

If it was a thin, then a repair on the back makes sense . If it was a hole it could be filled in on the back and comes thru to the front . Not sure without having the stamp on my desk ,a scan is too trickey to call it for sure . |

A stamp has a thin spot with a hole in the center of a spot therefore repaired on the back . |
