Great Britain - QV (line engraved)
QV Stars, wmk small crown P.14 2d. Deeper blue, plate 4, letters O-I, presumably because Perforated Penny Reds (1854–1879): Roughly 12 billion were produced in perforated form (out of a total of ~21 billion overall) and perforated Two Penny Blues (1854–1858): Approximately 45.36 million were printed. The ratio of perforate 1d reds to perforate 2d. Blues is some 265 1d. Reds produced to ONE perforate 2d. Blue … - this is the reason that major miss-perforate 2d. Blues are so seldom encountered. Bear in mind that this example, socked on the nose by Nr.31 London Disctrict cancel has clear corner letters, fine colour and no faults, cancelled S. of the miss-perforation error … This is a special stamp capable of commanding virtually any asking price. Let's start at £495=. Magnificent miss-perforation error (1v.)
