1903 New Denomination Four Figures 9d coral-pink imperforate plate proof BW #Q43(E)1A on ungummed watermarked paper, margins close to good, Cat $2500+. Apparently the imperf proofs were printed only in this colour. Most of the plate proofs, in various colours, were perforated. [The ACSC states "Many of the proofs are defaced with pen-lines", as was the case with Colonel Harrie Evans' and Sir Gawaine Baillie examples. This may be the only non-defaced example we have offered]

The design was not approved. Instead the 9d 'COMMONWEALTH' design intended to be issued by all the States was selected.

Ex John Williams (UK). [The ACSC at page 1/57 states "This was originally a machine for perforating lettercards, which was converted to a vertical comb in mid-1911. The gauge of the vertical line was variable, the stamps of the first row measuring 11½, the second row 11, the third row 12 & the fourth to twelfth rows 12½-12¾. It is customary to collect these variations in vertical strips (of 3)". Clearly the value is depressed by Gibbons not listing se-tenant strips of 3] (8 items)
