Antigua 1882 2½d red-brown, SG22b, watermark CA, variety large "2" in "2½" with slanting foot (R7/1 on pane, second state = type "B"). Neatly cancelled by virtually complete "A02" of St John's, which leaves the variety clear.
The quality of this example is far above average for this major rarity, which hardly ever comes onto the market.
The Stanley Gibbons catalogue value is £1,300.
