Great Britain Stamp #1 - Queen Victoria "Penny Black" (1840) 1p

The stamp is genuine in all respects, with ample margins on all sides, showing a tiny portion of the adjacent stamp at bottom; and free from faults or repairs at the time of examination. The stamp is printed from Plate 5. With a signed certificate.

Lovely example of the iconic "Penny Black", the first postage stamp ever issued, almost four margins with the frame of the adjacent stamp partially visible at the upper left corner and an extremely light, almost unperceivable red cancellation. It is as close as you can get to an unused copy, but without paying the humongous premium of $12,500!!!
