1907 MCA 4d. grey-green and black on chalky paper, prepared for use, but not issued; large part original gum, a very fine example of this exceedingly rare and iconic stamp. B.P.A. Certificate (1990). S.G. 70, £19,000

Note: The 1907 2d. and 4d. values were not issued in Nyasaland due to the Protectorate's name being changed. Only 18 of the 4d grey-green reached the market comprising a block of ten, a block of four (now in the Royal Philatelic Collection), a pair and two singles. The block of ten has subsequently been divided.
