GB QV Unissued Stamp SG Spec J25As 3d Rose (1861) Plate 2 State 1 (GH) (Shaded Spandrels) SPECIMEN Mint Cat £800 PIRED35
EXCEPTIONAL & VERY SCARCE EXAMPLE OF THIS UNACCEPTED EARLY DESIGN FOR A NEW 3d POSTAGE STAMP. It was considered too similar to the existing 4d value to be issued. Late issued with the SHADED SPANDRELS cleared as Plate 2, State 2 (SG.75). EXTREMELY FRESH with near full original gum. Barest trace of former hinge. SUPERB for an item of this type & period. Please look at all the scans to help form your own opinion.
