Depending on your perspective in which one views the item. Step back for a moment if you want a pretty strip of four stamps yes a professional repair
But this was Plate 11 1d Penny Blacks they have not been repaired using this Plate most likely via four different random damaged stamps
& some ink ...
Seen in auction 1d Black Plate 11 strip of four AH-AK, repaired sold by David Feldman auctions 25 Jun 2023, sold for £2,400 looks like a great price But be careful when the lot states repaired because if you see the original item maybe not such a great price after all #philately
