1857, 1¢ blue, type II (20), complete reconstruction of the five positions affected by the dramatic plate crack in the left pane of plate 2, position 2, 12, 13, 23 and 33, an attractive set, few small faults but mostly F-VF and definitely one of the finer quality reconstructions of the "big flaw".
Scott $2,325+

THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE PERFORATED "BIG FLAW" IS FAR MORE DIFFICULT TO ASSEMBLE THAN THE IMPERFORATE.
