Great Britain
1840 Two Pence Blue
Plate 1
PA, tight to enormous margins showing a portion of the adjoining stamp at lower right and at foot, cancelled by large part Plymouth Maltese Cross in black, very fine and exceptionally rare. Mike Jackson Certificate (2021). Specialised DS1vl, £5,000

Notes:

Though the Plymouth is very similar to the Norwich special, Jackson's certificate notes that the Plymouth was in used between Feb. 1841 to Feb. 1843, whereas the Norwich was used between Jan. 1843 and Apr. 1844, making the Plymouth more likely. Furthermore only one example on 1840 2d. blue is recorded by Rockoff & Jackson and none for the Norwich.
