image 1868 15c Grey Large Queen, a mint block of four with sheet margin at right. Top right stamp is lightly hinged, two others are extremely lightly hinged (almost imperceptible) and the bottom left stamp is never hinged. Accompanied by a 2020 PSE certificate incorrectly identifying which stamp is NH plus mentioning two very insignificant things: "bottom left stamp with a nibbed perf at the bottom" and "bottom right stamp with crease at the top right" which in our opinion do not merit the mention. A fresh and very fine block. (Image)
