Lot 20090 – GB 1847-54 1s Embossed pale green die 2 mint with large to enormous margins

1847–54 1s Pale Green, Die 2 Fresh Mint with Exceptional Margins — Magnificent Example

A truly wonderful example of this classic issue, displaying large to enormous margins, including a part sheet margin at left, and retaining large part original gum. A small silk thread split at the top left, outside the stamp design, is noted for accuracy but in no way detracts from its exceptional freshness and visual appeal.

A very fine and highly desirable mint example, rarely encountered in such superb condition, ideal for the advanced collector.
