Great Britain 1856 1d deep red brown Plate 46 imprimatur, SG29var Queen Victoria stamps Wonderful usage to the Channel

Wonderful usage to the Channel Islands

Superb unmounted mint with full original gum vertical strip of three with light stone (background shading) completely omitted from the top stamp and partially omitted from the middle stamp

A dramatic error with the missing carmine-red colour resulting in the omission of the central design of a VHF mast

but still highly attractive and rare in this form
