Description
1847–54 6d Dull Lilac Watermark Reversed — Mint
A very fine example of this major classic mint rarity, with four good to large margins and large part original gum. Typical overall toning is noted for accuracy but does not detract from the stamp’s strong colour and clarity.
A key item for the advanced collector.
