ReplyDelete1st class large letter stamps have been issued in counter sheets since PIP was introduced in 2006. Then they were gummed. (http://www.norphil.co.uk/2006/08a-pip.htm)
When the security type was issued all counter sheets for those values became self-adhesive. (http://www.norphil.co.uk/2009/02b-security_cut_machins_2009.htm)
Ah! Understand now. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI can confirm two printing dates on the 1st class large sheets with MA10 in the security overprint. These are the 15/03/10 and the 16/03/10. These sheet printings are the first to have 10 dates as all previous were printed in 2009. BM
