Notable Highlights in this Lot
• Windsor Castle £5 (Center-Left): There is a large stack of these. Collectors often hunt through these for the "1997 re-print" or specific phosphor varieties.
• Caernarfon Castle £2 (Bottom-Right): This is the 1988 issue. Its vibrant color makes it a very popular thematic stamp.
• Cleanliness: The stamps appear very clean with crisp perforations, which suggests they weren't roughly handled during the soaking process.
