QV 1851 2d. Violet-blue Pl.4. Superb used four margin example letters J-A on thicker lavender-tinted paper, with part left-hand sheet margin inscription and large part adjoining stamp at right. Neatly cancelled by Derry '172' numeral canceller. As Stanley Gibbons retail card accompanying states 'an exceptional example of this rare shade'. Without exageration this is the finest example of this stamp that we have ever handled in some 50 years trading. The thicker lavender tinted paper is rare and this is an exceptional premium example with pronounced tint, and that's not factoring in the part marginal inscription. Gibbons original selling price £2,250= (unsurprisingly) is near double the current basic £1,200= SG catalogue price. Accompanied by clear Brandon 2006 photo-certificate. Exhibition Standard. Superb.

QV Stars, wmk small crown P.14 2d. Deeper blue, plate 4, letters O-I, presumably because Perforated Penny Reds (1854–1879): Roughly 12 billion were produced in perforated form (out of a total of ~21 billion overall) and perforated Two Penny Blues (1854–1858): Approximately 45.36 million were printed. The ratio of perforate 1d reds to perforate 2d. Blues is some 265 1d. Reds produced to ONE perforate 2d. Blue … - this is the reason that major miss-perforate 2d. Blues are so seldom encountered. Bear in mind that this example, socked on the nose by Nr.31 London Disctrict cancel has clear corner letters, fine colour and no faults, cancelled S. of the miss-perforation error … This is a special stamp capable of commanding virtually any asking price. Let's start at £495=. Magnificent miss-perforation error (1v.)
