Someone should buy this and stick it on ebay as having a full "socked on the nose" Maltese Cross cancel.

This one sold recently .. start price $9.99, and just ended at $US2,810!

I´m very inclined to buy this, because I don´t have any Penny Black. But the margins are not so good....

I´m a novice concerning these stamps, so I ask: the stamp is good with these margins?

Thanks
Nuno

Nuno the better the margins the higher the price. On ANY imperf - from anywhere.

I bought it cheap so I sell it cheap.

Many 4 margin copies (with far less attractive cancels than this!) sell for treble this level here.

Nuno,

Glen is spot on with pricing.

My one and only Penny Black, Plate 5, nice 4 margin copy but with only a poor red maltese cross cancel, cost me just over $330.

Put your 1d Black on one of their boards and stand by for comments on the (? Ruby) colour of the cancel and price say (at) 225 Australian.

What you say ?
