Great Britain 1882 £5 Orange Plate 1, SG137Great Britain 1882 5 Orange Plate 1, SG137. A Very fine used example lettered AL, neatly cancelled by a Plymouth circular date stamp for JA. 2. 1900. A very high quality used example of Britain's boldest stamp design and particularly scarce so fine. Because of the high face value, there was no postal need for this stamp issue. It was first introduced as a Telegraphs stamp to account for payment of bulk telegrams and for those of individual high cost.
