Lot 70162 – 1840 2d. blue, Pl. 2, CB, good to very large margins

1840 2d. blue, Pl. 2, CB, good to very large margins all round, neatly cancelled by a fine part and upright strike of the Black Maltese cross at right leaving a virtually complete clear profile; small scissor cut in the margin at foot well clear of the impression and in no way detracting from the stunning appearance; a superb example.
