Condition: Predominantly Mint Never Hinged (MNH), with a minority of hinged examples. The owner confirms well-preserved original gum throughout. All three La maja desnuda denominations (1, 4 and 10 pesetas; Edifil 513–515) are MNH. The 20c Urgente (Edifil 516) is Mint Lightly Hinged (MLH). Centring varies across the set.
