Lot 242 Bahamas SC#12 1d Vermillion Queen Victoria, 1863-1865 Queen Victoria Chalon Heads Issue, A Very Fine Used Single, Perf 11.5, No Watermark

A very fine used single of the 1d vermillion Queen Victoria from the 1863-1865 Queen Victoria Chalon Heads Issue, perf 11.5, no watermark.

Very light, pressed out diagonal corner crease at lower right. A lovely example despite the small crease. The perfs clear the design, which according to Unitrade would have made this XF normally.
