 1870-71 QV De La Rue Sidefaces Hobart Printings Single-Lined Numeral Wmk Paper Perf 12 2d blue-green with Pronounced Double Print
SG 129ba, neat 'TASMANIA'-in-bars cancel of Hobart, unpriced (the Perf 11½ Double Print Cat £1800). Ex Jack Shatsis. RPSV Certificate (2025). A very fine example of this famous error. This is the stamp illustrated on the cover of 'The Australian
Philatelist' (Spring 1989). At page 4, it is stated "The probable explanation...is that the original pale yellow-green print was considered unsatisfactory...[and] they were passed through the press a second time using a new ink mix". Far superior to
the Perf 11½ example offered in our auction of 24.5.2008 (Sale 136 Lot 273) - "ironed-out creases and a small closed tear" - that sold for $2070.

yellow-green, was the first printed." (Image1) (Image2)
