GB QUEEN VITORIA 1841, 1d RED-BROWN, Sg.8, Pl.38, P-J, BASAL SHIFT
ABOUT THE STAMPS
GB QUEEN VICTORIA SG 8, Plate 38 (Typically classified as 1d Red-Brown or Orange-Red from the imperforate Die I era).
Corner Letters: P-J. On this layout, P indicates the row position, and J indicates the column position.
Sheet Position: Row 16 (P is the 16th letter of the alphabet), Column 10 (J is the 10th letter of the alphabet).
Plate Number: Because the earliest plates (printed between 1841 and 1854) did not have plate numbers engraved into the design sides, the exact plate number (ranging anywhere from Plate 12 to 175) must be determined through specialized philatelic "plating" guides. This requires studying tiny individual characteristics like the exact position and angles of the letters P and J within their bottom corner boxes.
Cancellation: Numeral №. 625. Primary location Portsmouth Head Office (HPO), Sub-Offices Portsea, Landport and the High Street Branch.
Errors: The plate 38 with letters P-J has Basal Shift and flaw on letter “J”.
Margins: The stamp is an "imperforate" issue, meaning it was cut from sheets with scissors rather than torn along perforations. Stamp has close margins.
