Great Britain 1883 10s greenish grey Plate 1, white paper, watermark Large Anchor, perforations 14, lettered 'ED'', SG135.
One of the finest mint examples in existence of this major GB philatelic rarity, with large part original gum. Most exceptionally perfectly centred, and with wonderful freshness and vibrant colour. Most other examples have condition issues and poor centering.
One of the hardest Queen Victorian surface printed stamps to find and an unfilled space in all but a precious few Queen Victorian stamp collections. We are both privileged and humbled to handle this elusive stamp for the first time in the past 25 year's trading. Very few mint examples of this stamp exist.
Accompanied with three independent certificates of authenticity from leading experts.
