The Embossed Issues:

These are always difficult to obtain cut square with four clear margins but relatively common cut to shape. However, there are a number of stamps that come in which although cut square invariably do not have full clear margins all round. The best solution, I feel, is to try to offer a range of qualities from the scarce four margin cut square examples down to the cut to shape fillers, as listed below. Of course the prices very much reflect the scarcity of quality examples of this issue. Stamps will be good used with average embossing and with cancels typical of the period in which they were issued.
