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

The stamp is genuine in all respects, postally used, with margins clear of the framelines on all sides, and is free from faults or repairs at the time of examination. The stamp was printed from Plate 6. With 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!!!
