A very fine NH example of the 5c ultramarine Queen Elizabeth II stamp from the 1954-1962 Wilding Issue, showing the scarce 1-bar tagging error, in which a single 8 mm band appears in the centre, rather than two 4 mm bands at the sides. Printed on smooth horizontal DF paper, with cream gum that has a semi-gloss sheen. Perf. 12.
Unitrade does not list this error. Rose lists it at $250 for a used stamp, but does not price a mint example. So, the value should be higher than $250. The stamp offered here grades VF-75 as follows:
Centering/margins: 45/70
Paper freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5
