Part of an unissued set from 1920 showing King George I. They're classed as essays, and they're not uncommon

re: when you think you have almost seen it all !

Incredibly, these essays were available in a packet in the 1960's. I found this amongst a group of unopened packs in an envelope in a job lot. This pack cost 6/6d, which was a lot more than most other packs cost at the time. However, the disinformation is incredible! Wrong King, wrong date, wrong info re perforations.

Image Not Found

King George I reigned until 1913, when he was assassinated. The image on the stamps bears a strong likeness to him in this portrait taken in 1863

Image Not Found

As the saying goes, show me another one Happy

A very nice set. However, that dealer should have been taken back to the woodshed for his, as you pointed out, false claim of scarcity. Stamps were being issued perforated as far back as the 1850s!
