9d violet with the Watermark Inverted ACSC 25a (SG 27w), well centred, '[ROMA ?] STREET/BRISBANE' postal cds, Cat $2500 (£1800). [The current ACSC states that "two dozen used examples are known...about half have non-postal markings". In the previous edition, this stamp postally used was priced at $5000, and $2500 for telegraph/fiscal usages. In the current edition, the postal price has been halved (as it needed to be) but the non-postals are still priced at $2500, an obvious error]

PUNCTURED 'OS': 2/- brown ACSC 36ba (SG O36), small hinge remainder, Cat $5000 (£1900). The PCNZA have, unusually, declined to issue a certificate. The expertisers believe the puncture is genuine but one of the key measurements is aberrant. The stamp must therefore be offered "as is".
