Great Britain-2 Die Variations of the 5 Penny-1887 Queen Victoria "Jubilee" Postage Stamp-Illustrated

Illustrated below are the two die variations of the 1887 to 1892 "Jubilee" issue of Queen Victoria. The original printing of Die 1 shows the "square" dots to the right of the "D" in the 5 Pence value tablet. Die 2 had much smaller dots and consequent light vertical line to right of the "D". The earlier Die printing is the more highly valued of the two.
