, Plate 7, HB, One Penny (1d.) Black Stamp (SG2)
, plate 7, One Penny (1d.) Black stamp lettered HB (Stanley Gibbons code SG2), Given the location of the postmark over the word 'ONE', it is not easy to see the Stage 1 'O' flaw that is found in the majority of stamps from letters GG to IL printed by this plate. However, the stamp was authenticated as being from this plate by Mr Peter Lister of the Expert Committee, Royal Philatelic Society Limited on 25th October, . A copy of this authentication email will be made available upon request. From the set of stamps printed between (plate numbers 1a-11), this type A1, imperforate, die I, alphabet I, small crown watermarked example was printed using plate 7 which was registered on (at which date it is known that the stamps from this plate were already in use), put to press on and destroyed on . This used, superb, good to large margined example has been cancelled / obliterated by a neat, centred, black Maltese Cross postmark (the black version is less common on plates 1 to 7) and is made available exclusive of the cost of postage and packaging which will be as follows: Packaging (small Jiffy bag): £0.25; and Postage - Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed service for package up to and including 100g (will be delivered by the following day): £6.50.
