½c to 20c
Queen Victoria Leaf Set of Large Die Proofs, printed in colours similar to the issued stamps on India paper, sunk-in on eight cards measuring 149 x 227 mm (the ½c and 1c cards measure 101 x 177 mm). The proofs are numbered F-102 to F-109 and have
the American Bank Note Co. Ottawa imprint below the stamp image. An impressive and remarkably rare complete set, with only 5 being offered in the 1990 ABN sale, and none known before that, apart from an incomplete set in the Dr. Lewis Reford
Collection. A lovely and most desirable set, easily worth more than our estimate. (Scan 1)

½c Queen
Victoria Leaf Issue Progressive Die Proof in Violet, stamp sized on thin card. This is an early unfinished version of what would become the issued stamp, missing the horizontal hatching around the oval, but showing a thin line around it,
delineating the horizontal hatching that would be engraved later. A very rare item, with only two other similar proofs known. Ex BNA essay and proof sale (Robson Lowe, 1963) and Thomas Douglas-McKee collection (2020).
