S.G. #D1/141 |
S.G. #D1/141, The exceptionally comprehensive postage due collection
balance of 105 different stamps, being one of the most complete
collections of these extraordinarily difficult and elusive issues we have
ever offered, basically missing only the high value rarities which have
been offered as individual lots, plus there is a nice run of the many
perforation varieties found on the 1902-04 issues and some inverted
watermark varieties as well, centering generally is far better than
typically encountered on these often poorly centered issues, all with o.g.,
an occasional small fault is noted, but most are fine-very fine; an unusual
opportunity to acquire many of the most elusive stamps of Australia in a
single lot (Scott #J1/95; $5,750.00+). |

this lovely is almost never found offered at auction (Scott #J22;
