9d violet with the Watermark Inverted ACSC 25a (SG 27w), very well centred, light 1917 telegraph datestamp in violet, Cat $2500 (£1800) for postally used. Superb. [In a footnote, the ACSC states a price of $2500 for fiscal usage. This is an error. In the previous edition, this stamp was priced at $5000 for postal usage & $2500 for fiscal usage (which has been carried forward). This stamp is visually superior to the superb example sold at our Online Auction #7 for $868]

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]

Grade B (Image1)

Estimate AU$100

PUNCTURED 'OS': 2d to 5/- all with cds cancels, variable centring but the 9d 2/- & 5/- are all very well centred (which is most unusual for the 9d & 2/-), a few minor defects, Cat $2000+ (£725+). [It is generally accepted that the 2½d was not punctured 'OS']  (6)

PUNCTURED 'OS': 6d blue ACSC 18ba (SG O33), very lightly mounted, Cat $850 (£450). PCNZA Certificate (2023).

Grade A C1 (Image1)

PUNCTURED 'OS': 9d violet ACSC 25ba (SG O34) with Break in Left Frame South West of WA Pos [2L41], exceptionally well-centred, small hinge remainder, Cat $2250 plus a premium for the variety (£950+). PCNZA Certificate (2023).

Grade A- A1 (Image1)

Estimate AU$600

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".
