Scarce used pair of the 1840 issue 2 Penny Blue imperf (plate 2), each stamp with the appropriate Maltese Cross cancel in black. The pair comes with a 2004 American Philatelic Society photo certificate which states, in part, "...genuine in all respects". A pressed out vertical crease (visible in fluid) is not mentioned in the certificate. A very elusive used Classic GB multiple, especially considering that it is the tougher plate 2 printing. Valued as a basic (no plate noted) used pair by Scott Classic catalogue. 2018 Scott Classic US$2,100.00=
