Description
Great Britain 1884 5d Dull Green (Die 1, Line under d), SG193var.
A superb unused example, with original gum, of this very rare stamp that was prepared for use but not issued lettered SC, thought to be one of only seven examples in private hands.
Plates 1 and 2 were put to press on 5 April 1893, but the registration sheets, nearly all of the printed sheets, and the plates were destroyed as they were considered far below De La Rue's printing standards.
