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.
