One and a Half Pence
'1½d' trial surcharge on 1d. scarlet, a marginal pair from the right of the sheet; superb unmounted mint, rare

Note: Postage rates were increased from 1d. to 1½d. on 10 May 1920, but the new 1½d. stamps were not issued until August 1920. Consideration was given to surcharging the existing 1d. stamps so that they could be used for the new 1½d. rate. Trials were made as above, but were never issued.
