Default Gibbons vs. Scott (GB Queen Victoria)?

Scott lists an 1857 Queen Victoria two pence blue stamp, number 21, as type A2
(this is Gibbons type 3), perf 14 on white paper. I do not find this in
Gibbons. Is it hidden there somewhere? If not, why is it not listed? (Maybe
Gibbons 35 with no blue paper visible?)

Please also reply by e-mail as I do not normally see replies on this newsgroup.

The only 1857 issue I find is 1857 July 2:
Gibbons #35,
Michel #11 B II.

It's SG 35, Plate 6 "generally without blueing" in the SG Spec., "more or
less blued" in the Concise.

Scott confuses this with true white paper and doesn't differentiate between
Plates 5 and 6.


Many thanks. Just the answer I was hoping to get. I only have the Concise.

Luckily, I was able to find replies, which I do not normally see on the
newsgroup.
