Another rare British stamp was sold on Ebay for approximately US $2,079.84 (Winning bid: GBP 1,400.00). Its a wonderfully centered used greenish-grey stamp with outstanding full colour and freshness. A crisp LIVERPOOL CDS for AUG 8 1883. Quite without any fault and with premium for this quality.

It hardly meets the above description for the below reasons. While it might be exceptionally well centered for this issue, the stamp looks soiled and has short or pulled perfs upper left. The CDS while legible is hardly crisp either and the colour is just so-so and hardly full colour. If this has full colour and freshness, I’d really hate to see one that doesn’t! I’m only surprised it wssn’t described as socked on the nose too, which of course, it isn’t!
Seriously this description is both wishful thinking and enhanced.
