adjoining units at top & left, 'Incoming Egg' Secondary Flaw upper-left of the Queen's head, unused, Cat £1400. RPSofV Certificate (2022) states that the "egg" is a surface-abrasion (we do not agree) & mentions an invisible "thin spot". A notoriously
difficult unused stamp to find in fine condition. The absurdly close spacing of the transfers is demonstrated by this example.
