A rare find - the iconic early classic Penny Black of Great Britain - in MINT condition with original gum! Doesn't appear to have been hinged. This example from plate 5 and lettered K-K with four clear margins; the only slight imperfection being a little light thinning on the left edge as seen but this does not touch the design. The gum slightly dryish in the centre, but no crazing or cracking; the line at the bottom is a very light crease but other than that this stamp has NO thins, NO tears, NO creases and NO toning, and is a rare stamp thus, worthy of any GB collection. Cat GBP 12,500.00.
