AI

A SUPERB VERY RARE UNUSED single from this RARE PLATE, centred a whisker low left, with FULL PERFS. No gum, but the suggestion of a faint wrinkle on the back suggests that this was the victim of the old-time collector's habit of washing the gum off, because of the inevitable gum crinkling. A MISSING IMPRIMATUR, with CONSTANT VARIETIES: vertical scratch above 'I', and base of 'I' thick (illustrated in Tonna's 'Penny Red Stars'). SG do not separately price unused examples of the various plates, but pro rata the basic cat.£45:£10 for unused:used unplated singles in the commonest shade, a conservative estimate of value for this must be £2,000++.
