1902-04 Completed Design Crown/NSW Watermark 10/- dull green ACSC D44 (SG D43), well-centred, small hinge remainder with a couple of minor tonespots, Cat $3500 (£2000).
1908-09 High Values with Stroke 10/- dull green with the Watermark Inverted ACSC D64 (SG D61), almost imperceptibly mounted (if at all) but with two small tonespots at the lower-right corner, Cat $3750 (£2750). All known examples have the Watermark Inverted. Unpriced unmounted.
1908-09 High Values with Stroke 10/- pale emerald-green with the Watermark Inverted ACSC D64 (SG D61), very lightly mounted, Cat $3750 (£2750). All known examples have the Watermark Inverted. Superb. BPA Certificate (2022).
1908-09 High Values with Stroke 20/- pale emerald-green ACSC D65 (SG D62), faint vertical bend & hinge remainder neither of which detracts from the very fine facial appearance, Cat $10,000 (£7500). BPA Certificate (2022). An attractively priced example of this very scarce stamp.
1909-10 Victorian Design Crown/Double-Lined A Watermark Thick Paper 1d rose-red & green ACSC D79 (SG D74) marginal single from the base of the sheet, no gum, Cat $7500 (£3750) for mint. David Brandon Certificate (1980).
1909-10 Victorian Design Crown/Double-Lined A Watermark Thick Paper £1 rose-red & green ACSC D92 (SG D73), quite well-centred, light 1923 cds, Cat $425 (£325). Postally used examples are much scarcer than CTO stamps and, in our opinion, are significantly undervalued. An apparent late use, but the Thin Paper £1 is reported not to have been issued until 1921.
1913-21 Victorian Design Crown/Double-Lined A Watermark Thin Paper 10/- scarlet & pale green ACSC D103 (SG D86), small hinge remainder, Cat $1250 (£2250; increased from £1500 in 2022).
