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.
