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. Larry at Morro Bay, California (seaotter 6 at a o l dot c o m)(no spaces in address) |

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. Larry in Berkeley, California (seaotter 6 at a o l dot c o m)(no spaces in address) |
