 NINE PENCE: 9d rose-lilac Printed on Both Sides SG 123a, the original impression on the 'reverse' oriented sideways relative to the
'face', 'PARCEL POST ADELAIDE/OC30/90/SA' cds, undercatalogued at £600. A rare & most unusual error, of which Gary Diffen recorded only three examples. Ex Julian Beresford.
Until recently, Gibbons didn't recognise this error as being distinct from the similar variety with the original impression upright. The catalogue now includes a footnote stating "No 123a is known with the impression on the back either sideways or
inverted". We suggest that the two varieties are fundamentally different and should be listed separately. We also note that all the other examples recorded by us have the usual upright/inverted orientation.
