The "98" date slug is inverted in the postmark for my 33.
It's an 1868 usage


corrected typo in the 1868 - that's the right number, as pointed out to me below. Thanks

Chipg, I think the 9 should be a 6 to make your year 1868. My 1870 date on #32 was thought to be late usage until research was done and the date determined to be correct for the period of use. Mike

To me, your 32 is the nicest of the 3 known.

Koala, the number of 31-32-33 issued is unknown. 31 is more scarce than 33 but both are rare. I bet the was only one complete sheet of 32 ever issued

Watermark, it is fantastic that you have digitally documented your former #32 so well . Very little has been seen digitally on the other two known stamps.

There are color differences between the three 2c laid paper stamps. There might well have been more than one sheet, but the number is obviously fairly limited.
