Lagos SG#21 1/2d Deep Green Queen Victoria 1887-1902 Bicoloured Keyplate Issue, A Lower Right VFNH Plate 2 Block
An immaculate lower right VFNH (Hinged in selvage) plate block from the left pane of plate 2 of the 1/2d deep green Queen Victoria stamp from the last printing made in 1901, from the 1887-1902 Bicoloured Keyplate Issue. The Gibbons value for this block, as singles is meaningless. Although close to a million stamps were printed during the last printing run for this value, the vast majority found today are singles. A realistic value would be $20 for the block, with 200% premium for NH, so $60 or so. The block offered here grades 84 as follows:
Centering/margins: 54/70
Paper freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5
Perforations: 10/10
