It has been reported that De La Rue have printed more of the gummed 20p bright green stamps. These are from a new D5 cylinder, printed before the self-adhesive versions and have a date code of 16/09/10. Ian Rose also reports a date block dated 15/09/10.

There is a second date for the 20p from cylinder D5. I have a "no line" date block showing the date 15/09/10.
Any news on the Machin source code that will appear on the Arnold Machin miniature sheet stamps?
None as yet but I can confirm the source code from the prestige booklet.
The stamps have conventional gum, the 76p and 1st class stamps have a security overprint but the 5p stamps do not. NONE OF THESE STAMPS HAVE SECRITY SLITS
As expected the year code is M11L and the source code is MPIL.
The CENTENARY sheet will have conventional gum, AND will have "full security features except for the security slits"
As this is a new source (miniature sheet) for security definitives it is to be expected that a new source code will be used.
IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED
the CENTENARY sheet is printed by Walsall in gravure, and has PVA gum.
