 2/- light brown ACSC 36 (SG 29) Plate 2 right pane 'JBC' Monogram single ACSC 36(2)zc, the Monogram complete, unusually
well-centred, lightly mounted in the margin and at top where removal of the hinge has caused a tiny thin that does not affect the very fine facial appearance, Cat $30,000.
Rare: only seven Monogram pieces are recorded, comprising a block of 4 in the Royal Collection, three pairs (one used) and three singles. The 'Artemis' example - not as well-centred; thinned in the margin behind the Monogram - sold at our auction of
1.12.2021 for $10,030 (Sale 246 Lot 75). Arthur Gray's very fine example sold for US$19,550. (Image1) (Image2)

its upper frameline cutting horizontally through the Map at Arnhem Land and Cape York, well-centred, characteristic rough 'fluffy' perfs, largely very fine large-part Grahamstown, NSW '18DEC15' cds cancel, Cat $9000. The ACSC records ten mint and

 5/- deep grey & chrome ACSC 43 (SG 30) with Partial Double ('Kiss') Print of the Duty Frame Plate ACSC 43c particularly prominent
in the vertical framelines outside the Left Frame and inside the Right Frame touching the Eastern Coastline at Brisbane extending above & below, and in the doubling of the Map along the Cape York & Victorian Coastlines, well-centred, small-part
Adelaide Registered cds cancel largely clear of the affected areas, Cat $9000. Accompanied by a 1987 letter from Stuart Hardy stating "this is the standard that is acceptable for this double print variety, unsatisfactory as that it might seem". The
ACSC-listed Double Print refers to a second impression 8mm below the first - see the previous Lot - but goes on to state that "other relatively minor kiss prints exist". (Image1) (Image2)

 5/- grey & chrome with the Watermark Inverted ACSC 43a (SG 30w) single with Duty Plate variety Broken Coast near Sydney & Broken
Upper-Right Frame [Pos L2] ACSC 43(D)d, CTO with partial Melbourne cds cancel ACSC 43w well clear of the variety, very fresh, well-centred, a few characteristic rough 'fluffy' perfs at top, full unmounted gum, Cat $4000+ for normal CTO. The ACSC
states that "Two stamps cancelled-to-order have been reported; one is in the ... Australia Post Archival Collection. These are almost certainly presentation stamps, and were never sold in collectors' sets", but does not mention whether the one in
private hands has the Watermark Inverted. This item is likely to be an additional example, presumably the only known Watermark Inverted CTO.
