2d red Die III with the Watermark Inverted ACSC 102(OS)a (SG O125w), light machine slogan cancel, Cat $500 (£1000). Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2012) states "Extremely rare". After a recent discovery of used stamps the ACSC reduced its price from $4000 to $500, an over-correction in our opinion. Gibbons followed suit reducing its listing from £3500 to £550, but has increased this back up to £1000 in the most recent 2025 edition. Ex Gerald Fon. (Image1) (Image2) (Image3) (Image4)
