The "Ivory Head". Irregularly cut but otherwise sound and scarce used strip of three of the 1841 issue Two Penny Blue, showing the "Ivory Head" variety on the reverse (caused by uneven "blueing"). Neatly mounted on an extensively annotated exhibit page. The collector has also determined the stamp to be the "Deep Full Blue" (possibly Scott #4b). Conservatively valued by Scott Classic catalogue as the basic stamp (#4) in a used strip of three. 2024 Scott Classic $425.00 =
