Good used. Rare variety of 1844 type cancellation (late usage). There are a couple of small surface rubs (one above the queen's ear and a lighter one to the left of the queen's forehead. A horizontal crease through the middle of the stamp is the only hidden fault. Very tight margins on the right and at the left side of the top as per the scans.
