1895 Provisional issue 2d sea-green and vermilion surcharged 'ONE PENNY'. Showing the variety SURCHARGE DOUBLE. Some light discolouration on the reverse, otherwise fine mint. A rarity. SG 20a

£2275

1895 £25 black and blue-green. Light horizontal bend, unusually well centred, fresh and very fine mint. An exceptional example of this classic high value rarity. Ex. MacFarlane. SG 31

Note: of the few surviving examples of this rare stamp, many are noticeably off-centre. In addition, a significant number also appear to have been separated with scissors resulting in clipped and trimmed perforations. This example being free of such faults is probably the finest extant.

£9000


1896 £10 black and orange. Superb fresh mint, VERY RARE in this condition. Philatelic Foundation certificate (2008). SG 41

Note: this is a truly remarkable stamp, wonderful refulgent colours, well centred and fresh. It is difficult to imagine if a finer copy could exist.

£7500
