Myrtle-green. Printed on fluorescent coated paper (FCP) with polyvinyl alcohol dextrin gum (PVAD). There are also two 9.5mm phosphor bands.
This printing from cylinder 10 is on thin paper and the gum has a ‘marbled’ effect.
This variety is not mentioned in the Gibbons Specialised Vol 4 catalogue, so we have used the “Connoisseur Catalogue of Machin Stamps” Tenth Edition 1995. Their catalogue number is CC121A.
Gibbon’s GB QEII Specialised Vol 4 catalogue number U80Var.
Unmounted mint and in pristine condition.

INFORMATION SOURCES:
First of all, stamps will be well packaged and despatched by Royal Mail. Therefore please see our Shop menu for postal options. Postage
We only charge postage for the first item in most cases. Thus any further items purchased would not increase the final postal charges. Furthermore we do not charge you for envelopes and packaging.
Recorded Delivery or Registered Post is also available if required. If one of these options is taken, compensation for loss or damage can be claimed.
We mention Stanley Gibbons catalogue numbers where it is possible. These numbers are either from the “Concise Stamp Catalogue” or from the “Specialised Stamp Catalogue Volume 4 Part 1”. We will also try to mention any other numbering that we may use if not covered by the above. Sometimes particular stamps, Smilers sheets, booklets, miniature sheets, or cylinder blocks are not recognized anywhere. Hence, in this case, we would use our own expertise to describe and value that item.
In conclusion, all of our stamps are unmounted mint and also in an excellent condition. We will mention any variation to this statement.
Please let us know if we have made a mistake with this description.
