ABOUT THE STAMP
The Great Britain 1840 1d Penny Black from Plate 1b with letters NC is a specific philatelic variety resulting from the extensive repair of the first printing plate. Plate 1b is the "repaired state" of Plate 1a, which wore down quickly because it was not initially hardened.
Key Characteristics of Plate 1b (NC):
Recut Variety: The "N" check letter in the bottom left corner is often listed as a recut variety. This means the letter was manually strengthened or deepened on the plate to compensate for wear.
Ray Flaws: Like other stamps from Plate 1, it typically shows "ray flaws" in the North West (NW) star, specifically a weak or missing 7 o'clock ray and a missing 10 o'clock ray.
Check Letter Position: For position NC, the 'N' and 'C' were hand-punched into the lower corners, meaning their exact alignment is unique to this position on the sheet.
Frame Lines: Plate 1b examples often show a recut left side-line that may extend below the bottom baseline.
