'V' SG 4ac, margins good to large, small faults including surface
abrasion at centre-right, light but indistinct Butterfly cancel in
blue well clear of the retouch, Cat £1200. Rodney Perry Certificate
(2009) states "A rare retouch which occurs 1:120". Sold at our

An extremely rare stamp showing the distinctive brownish rose shade of this printing. Ex Max Watson - sold at our auction of 3.4.2017 for $1340 (Sale 220 Lot 29) - and 'Dubois' (IV): sold for SFr915. RPSV Certificate (2017).
Geoff Kellow at page 51 states "...The rose shade is often misidentified...There are probably only about two dozen copies of this shade recorded", which we believe is over-stated. In fact, most examples offered for sale are not the right colour. For many years, this particular stamp was the comparator against which all examples submitted to the RPSV for expertising were assessed. Gary Diffen's superb example sold in 2007 for £1800

Irregular Compound Perf 12x12½x12x12, a huge stamp with Castlemaine
'3' duplex. Unlisted by Gibbons and not recorded by Geoff Kellow,
who states at page 164 that this issue exists "perf 12 only". The
only likely explanation is that this item is derived from a
partly-perforated sheet completed with the Ferres machine, borrowed
from the Government Printing Office in late-Sep/early-Oct 1864.

excellent colours & well-centred, a couple of short perfs at left,

Ceremuga Certificate (2004) states "only several mint examples are
recorded...original gum". Absent from the 'Besancon' collection.
However, the £6 to £9 offered individually in 'Besancon' (I) sold
for SFr18,150 each against catalogue values of £17,000 to £20,000

emerald SG 380 block of 12 (6x2) from the upper-left corner of the
sheet, two upper units [Pos R1/4-5] with Cracked Electro from
Queen's Hair through Right Value Tablet extending into the next
unit from Left Value Tablet through Queen's Face to Right Frame
ACSC V5d(var), the upper margin slightly trimmed, the lower-right
two units with a small perf reinforcement otherwise unmounted, Cat
$255+ for one variety unit (see below) and eleven mounted singles
(£168+ for mounted normal singles). A technically significant
piece. RPSL Certificate (2024) states "horizontal scratch", which
is incorrect: the flaw is not straight, curving to follow elements
of the design, and is clearly a 'crack'. Not recorded by Geoff
Kellow. The ACSC-listed variety "Horizontal Scratch above
Right-Hand '6' into Hair" has not been plated and is based on
seeing an example of the left-hand unit only. Both units together
in this block provides clear evidence of a Cracked Electro, and
plates the varieties
