PB02: An Attractive Penny Black with a Lightly Marked Maltese Cross

Code PB02: SG2 / 1840 issued Penny Black 1d Intense Black: 4 margins with a very nice, lightly marked red Maltese Cross, clearly giving way to show the young Queen Victoria's face. Shown was B-H, the 4 margins are well spaced with the lower portion in a generous border. The reverse is shown to be extremely clean. A very neat stamp, well worth its value with well defined borders, intense black background and very nicely marked cancellation. £265.00 SOLD plus postage, shipped from the United Kingdom. An investment piece, surely.
