1970-75 Floral Coils 5c Golden Wattle Yellow Partly Omitted from the Central Design ACSC 532ck(var) pair, light but indistinct cds cancels (possibly of 'MILLICENT' SA). Unlisted in the ACSC. [The ACSC states "One used pair is recorded showing the yellow printing omitted from the left-hand two-thirds of each stamp", which indicates a completely different error. However, it continues "The pair is cancelled by an illegible datestamp", which causes us to think this is the same item but misdescribed in the catalogue]
1972 Pioneer Life KP5D Paper 50c 'Pioneer Transport' (mail coach) with the Black Inscription ('AUSTRALIA' & '50c') Largely Omitted, minor bend, unmounted. Unlisted. Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2019) states "Extremely rare as probably only one row of 5 existed". [Examples from the Wiggins Teape printing with all inscriptions omitted ACSC 614c (SG 527a), of which a column of 10 existed, Cat $4000 or £2750. The accompanying RPSofL Certificate (2018) does not distinguish the paper & is therefore inaccurate]
