1868 15c Deep Blue Large Queen Pair, Each Stamp with a Different Plate Flaw, a mint horizontal pair from plate positions 9-10, with full original gum, lightly hinged. The left stamp shows prominent plate scratches at top left, and the right stamp shows a "Pawnbroker" plate variety at lower right. There is also a clear diagonal scratch between both stamps, at mid level. A lovely and fresh pair, with deep rich colour which clearly accentuates the plate flaws, very fine. A truly must have item for the Large Queen specialist, as the combination of this scarce shade, along with both popular plate flaws and freshness make this pair very desirable and possibly unique.

Ex Sir Gawaine Baillie collection.
