On May 13th, 1880, Messrs. Perkins, Bacon & Co. sent out 1000 sheets
(60,000 stamps) of the One Penny, printed in pale grey-green, 300 sheets
(18,000 stamps) of the Six Pence, printed in bright yellow-green, and
100 sheets (2,000 stamps) of a new value—Five Shillings, printed in deep
rose-red. In this consignment was included the third and last printing
of the One Shilling bright vermilion-red. All the three first mentioned
values were perforated B only, this we know because no other variety of
perforation exists in any of these stamps, the issue of which was in all
three cases confined to this one printing. We think this is a very good
reason for believing that the printing of the One Shilling that was made
at the same time was like them perforated B only, and that at this date
the use of the A machine had been discontinued for ever, as far as the
stamps of St. Vincent are concerned.

The printings of both the One Penny and the Six Pence were small ones.
The former value must have been used up quickly, as a new supply was
ordered in the next year; we may, therefore, expect this stamp to become
much scarcer than any of the same value that preceded it, and of which
such a large quantity were printed.

The Six Pence was the last of
spaced. The one most likely to be met with is the least 
 dangerous, as it take a big cross stroke to the top of the digit, 
 instead of a serif, besides being wrong in many early particulars. 
 This forgery is evidently copy from the illustration in a well - known 
 catalog, and not from the stamp itself. 

 This provisional One Penny has constantly been a rare revenue stamp, especially 
 fresh, or in pairs; none of the issue look to have found its way into 
 dealers ’ stock, but to have been all used up for legitimate postal 
 purposes, so that a bang-up part of it must have been destroyed, and only a 
 small proportion of the original 1,800 save for philatelic purposes.
