 FOUR PENCE - LISTED TRANSFER VARIETIES: 4d pale blue with Squashed 'WESTERN' SG 3q [Pos R8/17], margins close to good, large-part
strike of 15-bar '21' cancel of Vasse in blue & rare thus largely clear of the variety, Cat £1800+. Superb. Ex Lord Vestey: sold for £1080. BPA Certificate (2007). [Vasse used a void grid canceller until at least early-1856. PMI states numeral '21'
was allocated in 1859 but is recorded only from 1863. However, Pope & Reynolds record covers from AU29/1859. This strike must be one of the earliest usages]

 SIX PENCE: 6d golden bronze SG 17 with Defective Transfer at Lower-Right [Type 12; Pos 176], margins just shaved (at top) to large,
untidy void-grid cancel, Cat £2500. Ex Michael Haden: sold at our auction of 30.4.2011 for $1690.
This is one of the more obvious examples of the "golden" bronze that we have offered. Under illuminated magnification the gilding metal particles are quite obvious. However, our experience is that most examples of these shades are extremely difficult
to positively characterise as "golden-" or "black-"bronze.
