Fees

Extraordinary and highly specialised collection of Great Britain Entertainment duty issues in album, containing an incredible FIFTY-NINE unique die proofs, many from the personal archive of the Royal Mint engraver H. A. Richardson overprinted ‘CANCELLED’ in red sans-serif capitals, but two trial die proof in inverted colours set in sunken card are highly unusual. As well as a comprehensive range of mint values and some Specimen overprints, the collection also includes 55 tickets or ticket halves, contemporary documents on the usage of these issues, lozenge overprint trial settings of 4 (deliberately misperforated), and a large selection of imperforate colour trials, some set on HM stationery office headed paper. Viewing recommended, there is even more that can't be mentioned here. A truly amazing collection which would write up into a beautiful competitive exhibit.
