Description
1880-82 8c carmine, imperforate plate proof in issued colour on thin surfaced card, complete sheet of 10 (5x2) with M/S endorsement '534/5' at lower right. Trivial gum mark in lower margin but a very beautiful item, with wonderful clarity of impression which is never found on the issued stamps, and showing pantograph variety 'No dot at lower left' on R2/5. A great rarity, being one of three known, ex Cassels and De La Rue archives.
