Description
Great Britain 1840 1d black, Plate 3, SG2.
A very fine used example with four good to very large margins lettered CE, neatly cancelled by a crisp red Maltese Cross leaving a clear profile.
A stunning example of this hard to find printing plate of the world's first postage stamp. The penny black represents a real landmark in British and worldwide history.
The SG catalogue value is £500.
