1857 3p Heraldic, Die II Engraved Die Essay in black, stamp size on card mounted india paper, showing the corrected lower left "3" (slating in the Die I essay) and having small differences not present in the final die for the issued stamp. One major trait not found on the plate proofs and issued stamps is the lack of the outer delineation line surrounding the central vignette trefoil. A very rare initial die proof of which not more than three of the Die II essay exist according to R. Pratt, VF (Minuse & Pratt 3E-A)
Provenance: Ralph Hart, May 1977; Lot 624
We would like to point out that no actual die proof of the final die is known in private hands. Only a few die essays of Die I and of Die II (according to Robert H. Pratt handbook) exist. (Image)
