Hi Everyone,
What are your thoughts on this penny black? Is it genuine and unused? There is a tear to bottom right but only ever handled a few of these and I have my doubts about this one.

Thanks

It sure looks genuine but the stamp would need to go through a few tests to prove it was unused. The margins are nice but I can't see the watermark which makes me wonder if it's been rebacked.
