QV 1873 3d. Rose Plate 11. Very fine and fresh unused o.g. imperforate top marginal IMPRIMATUR lettered A-F. As Gibbons retail card (supplied) states: very rare, one of only 22 possible examples… many of which are in institutional collections. SG Specialised CV £2,500=. An imprimatur in stamp collecting is the very first sheet of stamps printed from a new, approved printing plate. Derived from the Latin word for 'let it be printed', these sheets serve as official physical records and colour proofs before a stamp is printed for public service. Magnificent colour. Superb unused.
