A good, bad and ugly trio of Penny Blacks. The good is a nice-looking copy with a red Maltese cross cancel (a solid 3-1/2 margin copy, but it could be argued that it is 4 margins). The bad is another attractive stamp, but the scissors lost their sense of direction in the upper right corner. The "ugly" has a circular cork obliterator on a brittle stamp that has a vertical crease that has almost split the stamp in two. Counted as two sound copies. All could benefit from a soaking.
