The Sixpence Stamp 1859 to 1895
c1872 De La Rue Reference Sheets.
Enamelled Card.
No Watermark. Imperforate.
The one complete sheet has been cut up and
dispersed to the philatelic market place. The
sheet was cut rather inaccurately using scissors,
hence the sheet can be relatively easily digitally
reconstructed by matching the edges.
There were initially 12 complete panes, and the
illustration shows that at least eight of these were
still intact in recent years.
Panes 1 and 4 have not appeared in public
auction as far as can be traced.
