Description:

TWOPENCE RED: 2d marginal blocks of 4 from the left of the sheet with One Plate Dot above Red Line BW #146z and from the right of the sheets with One to Four Plate Dots below Red Line #146za-zd, generally well centred, very fine to superb, the last is lightly mounted, the others are unmounted, Cat $4500. A rare and desirable "set", rarely available complete or in this quality.

The horizontal lines are perforating guide-lines. The ACSC states that the plate dots were often removed, or partially removed, by the perforations and/or guillotining. Partial removal can result in errors of identification. In this case, the markings are complete and obvious. (5 blocks)
