BRITISH BECHUANALAND  -  1891 CAPE 1d & 2d OVERPRINTED READING UP 'British Bechuanaland'
AB4385
1891 Cape 2d bistre with overprint (stereo) reading upwards. BLOCK OF FOUR showing the ‘nail head’ at centre making this block plateable as from the right pane, rows 7-8, columns 5-6. Very fine or superb fresh unmounted mint with hinge mark on the upper pair only. SG 32 var.
 
Note: this flaw, in the form of a faint black circle, was produced by the head of one of the nails that secured the stereos remaining sufficiently proud to produce an image on the surface of the stamp.
