The "Split Head"

  • Vertical line through the Queen's Head.
  • A 2nd example is known from a picture I took at a "Stamp Camp" at the home of Bill Simpson, many years ago. 
  • My notes from WLS indicate that Jack Davis had found this copy. It was referred to as the "Split Head". 
  • To my knowledge, it was unique until recently, when this second, fainter copy was identified by G. Jeffery.
