Great Britain SC#354f SG#571m 1d Ultramarine & 3d Deep Purple Queen Elizabeth II, 1958-1967 Wilding Issue, Multiple Crown Watermark, Se-Tenant Booklet Pane of 4, White Paper, 3d Stamps on Right, VFNH

A very fine mint NH se-tenant booklet pane of 4 of the 1d ultramarine & 3d deep purple Queen Elizabeth II stamps from the 1958-1967 Wilding Issue. Multiple crown sideways watermark on white paper, with the 3d stamps on the right of the pane. Although not listed in Gibbons Specialized both the cream and white papers on the multiple crown watermark can be found with wide differences in fluorescence when viewed under long-wave UV light. The cream papers generally are either non-fluorescent or dull fluorescent with fluorescent flecks that make the paper appear LF. The white papers exhibit a much broader range, from dull fluorescent all the way to hibrite, with many of the fluorescent papers having fluorescent flecks of varying concentrations and brightness levels in the paper. I haven't checked the fluorescence of this pane specifically. Gibbons values this at £12. This translates to approximately $24. The booklet pane offered here grades 80.
