1873-80 Large Coloured Corner Letters
unused 2½d. rosy mauve, watermark Anchor, plate 1, ML on blued paper, variety imperforate, unused with some original gum, wide margins; some light staining and wrinkling, tiny surface mark by Queen's neck, otherwise fine and a great rarity. R.P.S. Certificate (1970) states "is genuine as far as one can say of a single copy" which, considering the size of the margins, seems overly cautious. S.G. Spec. J1d, unpriced. Ex Latto. Photo
