GB QUEEN VICTORIA 1855/64, 1d RED BROWN SG 38, Plate 33, H-F, Fine Used
ABOUT THE STAMPS
Stanley Gibbons Number: SG 38
SG 38: Die II, Alphabet III, Watermark Large Crown, Perforation 14, Rose-Red.
It cannot be SG 40 because distinguishing between these two depends entirely on measuring whether the gauge is perf 14 or perf 16. It is Perforation 14.
The 15-degree rightward lean of the letter F, the H-F check positions, and the standard 14-gauge perforation align to verify this exact plating.
- Plate Number: Plate 33. The distinct 15-degree tilt on the manual "F" punch is a documented flaw used to plate this specific run.
- SG Specialised Catalogue Number: C10.
- Letter Position: H-F. The bottom corners show H(left) and F(right). Because the top corners are occupied by stars, this stamp identifies its position as row 8 (H), column 6 (F) of the printing sheet.
- Postmark / Cancellation: The "700" barred numeral cancellation
is the official postal allocation code for Sheffield, Yorkshire.
- Errors on the Stamp: There seems are no catalogued errors visible with naked eyes on this stamp. The printing is clear, and the alignment of the letters is within typical production tolerances.
