    1840: 2 d. deep blue, Plate 2, lettered DI-DJ, an unused horizontal pair, large margins all round DI, close but clear at lower right of DJ, of marvellous fresh colour, one of the finest of all mint pairs from Plate 2 as this pair is not from the G. Mackey multiple (found in 1894, the block of 84 stamps lettered HA-HL / NA-NL, were all without gum) and this pair boasts a considerable amount of original gum. A magnificent and rare Exhibition item for the connoisseur of classic philately Gi 4 = £ 90'000 / Gi DS7 = £ 120'000.rnProvenance: RL, London, 13-14 June 1972, lot 256; Michael Lea colletion (1978).
