ABOUT THE STAMP

The GB Queen Victoria 1d Penny Black with the check letters Q-I from Plate 1b featuring a "base double" (double bottom line) is a recognized variety for collectors of early line-engraved British stamps.

Identification Characteristics:

Plate 1b: This is the repaired state of the first printing plate. It was overhauled after excessive wear during the initial "Plate 1a" run.

Check Letters (Q-I): These letters indicate the stamp's position on the sheet of 240. "Q" is the 17th row, and "I" is the 9th column.

Base Double Variety: This refers to a doubling of the bottom frame line, a characteristic often caused by a "re-entry" where the transfer roller was applied to the plate more than once to sharpen a worn or shallow impression.
