Great Britain, Scott #MH440 (Deegam N1.62.17)(Stanley Gibbons #U3029), 2019, used (o) Machin, Non-Value Indicated (NVI) 1st class mail, Walsall gravure printed: July 15th, 2019, self-adhesive non-water soluble gum, iridescent "Royal Mail" wavy overprint, from a booklet of twelve (T) imbedded (T) source code "MTIL" in top right corner, imbedded 2019 year code as "M19L" to the left of the crown, security slit type 2 (wide break at top and bottom of the ovals), simulated 14¾x14 perforations with syncopated elliptical double perforation space quarter way from the bottom on left and right sides, dark red (Royal Mail Red 2), Scott 2022 Catalog Value: $3.50, nicely centered, light, black-inked, widely spaced, fading, machine dotted, wavy line cancellation, over the middle of the stamp and fading out toward the right, the lightness of the cancel and its wide spacing leaves the main image remarkably clear, corner perforation fold at bottom left, otherwise good perforations, stamp was issued on pressure-sensitive non-water soluble adhesive booklet panes, the stamp was removed from the mailing envelope using a Bestine solvent and placed on a rectangular piece of black card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance; centering, mounting, image clear cancel, and embedded source and year codes warrant a selling price premium, but perforation fold calls for an adjustment, so a wash. This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offer, the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society (APS) member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
