Great Britain SC#127a, 143a (SG#216, 218var) 1/2d Blue Green - Bright Yellowish Green King Edward VII, 1902-1910 King Edward VII Issue, 3 Fine/Very Fine Used Singles, Watermark Portion Of Sheet Margin 'Postage' Wmk Plus The Imperial crown.

3 fine/very fine used singles of the 1/2d blue green - bright yellowish green King Edward VII from the 1902-1910 King Edward VII Issue, watermark portion of sheet margin 'postage' wmk plus the Imperial crown.

This wmk was supposed to be confined to the sheet margin, but some shifts resulted in portions of this watermark appearing on some stamps. They are quite scarce, as I went through over 1000 stamps to find these 3.

Gibbons doesn't list these varieties, so we estimate them at $20. The stamps offered here grade between 70 and 76 as follows:
