Stanley Gibbons #19b. Two
pence blackish purple-brown "Queen on Throne" from a
lithographic transfer by Campbell, from STONE 3.
A large and Very Fine mint example with a trace of original gum. Very
rare unused stamp, in fact, after studying this issue for several years,
this is the only example which has come to our attention. Others may
exist, but it is certainly Very Rare. A great opportunity for the
specilist. |

Stanley Gibbons #36b.
Scott #16a variety. Two pence "Queen on Throne"
lithographed by Campbell and Ferguson from new stones without wear
(STONE A), in a shade of purple brown, and showing the amazing variety
"TVO" instead of "TWO"
which arose due to a creased transfer which reduced the size of the
stamp in position YB (#48) in the plate. The stamp has complete margins,
very large on two sides, adequate on the other two. There is a very
small thin spot. A Very Rare stamp, ex-Green collection, and accompanied
by a Peter Holcombe certificate of authenticity. A sensational
opportunity to acquire a very seldom seen or offered stamp. Stanley
Gibbons 2009 catalogue quotes GBP 1,000.00, which is about US$ 1,700.00.

Stanley Gibbons #37a
variety. Scott #16 variety. 1854. A mint example of the "Queen
on Throne" two pence stamp, from Stone "C", lettered "CH".
This stamp was printed from the substituted cliche, taken from position
28 and which replaced a damaged cliche in position 41. It has the
distinction of being the only known mint example of any of the
substituted cliches of this issue. A great rarity for the specialist.
