A total number of 1,600,276,320 1,6 billion stamps from 15 different plates ex. The rarest plate is plate no. 9, a reserve plate, with only 2,500,000 stamps printed. This means a survival rate for plate no. 9 of 50,000 stamps within 2% of them are unused so there would be 49,000 used stamps including stamps on cover.

A famous German Philatelist and Expertizer for Victorian Great Britain Stamps. For the 1 D black plate 11 they calculated a survival rate of 0,26% for the stamp on cover.

On base of this research the survival rate of the ½ D red plate 9 is 0,45% of 2,500,000 = 11,250 stamps, 5% or 562 stamps of them are mint and 10,688 stamps are used.
