Great Britain 1840 1d black, Plate 11, SG2

£3,950.00
SKU JC1530

Great Britain 1840 1d black, Plate 11, SG2.

A very fine used example with four good to large margins lettered HE, in the characteristic greyish black shade, cancelled by a black Maltese Cross.

A good quality example of the holy grail of penny black collecting, the elusive last printing plate. Only 168,000 were printed from this plate, representing a mere fraction of the total number of penny blacks printed of 68 million. Very few have survived from this plate number, particularly in fine condition.

The penny black represents a real landmark in British and worldwide history and this example is from the most sought after printing plate of them all.

Accompanied with a Royal Philatelic Society (RPS) certificate of authenticity (2004).

The SG catalogue value is £4,600.
