Details
This second limited edition prestige stamp book is different from all limited edition's before, as all stamps within the book have been cancelled with a special undated cachet in black ink to celebrate Marvel's 80th anniversary. The Machin pane (DP553) is not identical to those in the original and first limited edition of this book. It seems that the panes had to be specially printed. The Machin DP553 booklet pane shows the iridescent code MPIL / M19L. The P is present and the year has changed. Except for the 1p stamp, which later appeared in the 'Visions of the Universe' prestige stamp book (DB5(84)), the other three values, 20p, £1.25 and £1.45 exist nowhere else with the MPIL / M19L iridescent code. All the stamps have parts of the cachet present. so do not exist in totally mint condition. Issue price: £39.99 Issue date: October 2019 Printer: Cartor Barcode: 5 014721 150178 Number issued: 1,939
