I came across this lone stamp in my stack of unsorted stamps. I tried looking in Scotts, and did find similar/same stamp but the denominations were different. None that looked like this were 1d. Am I missing something?   |

Stampdog Issue year is 1912. The SG number is 132a, cat 20p. Just look in Scotts under 1912 and you'll find it....I hope. Londonbus1....fingers crossed  |

I would like to point out though, sadly, that it is very toned and probably good only for the barby ! |

Thanks, but I just don't see the value 1d. Is there some magic reference I'm missing. And if I go to Scotts #132, it show it as a 9p dk violet & black stamp, years 1921-27. Maybe I'm tired and need to take a break?????
And yes,it's a bit faded, but I have seen worse |

Check Scott #123 violet, 1921
...what does everyone think? Die II? I think so. If it is die I, then it is 123a.

Based on my 2008 Scott Catalogue, I'm guessing Scott #123 Violet 1 denarius (pence)  KirkS [Edit -- No Fair! CJD posted while I was typing |

Yeah, thanks Scott's. d vs. p is one of those catalogue idiosyncrasies that you just have to know, 'cuz it doesn't make any sense. It would take Scott's all of a couple hours to "find and replace" p for d by era. |

Lindners ERNI a&B mildew remover may rescue
and specialists may need the cancellation.
Perhaps retain but do not mix with other stamps |

The postmark is Magburaka, which was first recorded in 1930.
