(CURATOR OF) INTESTATE ESTATES

Overprinted 'I.E.'
LotNo. Symbol Lot Description Estimate in AU$'s
1700 G imageBLACK OVERPRINT: 'I.E.' on De La Rue Crown/SA Wmk Perf 10 2d red-orange SG DO279, GPO cds of 'AP8/74', Cat £3000. Rated RRRR: unrecorded unused. RPSV Certificate (2009). Don Pearce's example sold to James Halliday for $4550 (Sale 247 Lot 411) & in his sale for $5040 (Sale 262 Lot 385). The very fine 'Tamiami' example sold for $5030 (Sale 236 Lot 621). Lord Vestey's fine example sold for £3360. Absent from 'Besancon'. [Date range 30.3.1871 to 8.4.1874] The only denomination recorded with 'I.E' Overprint, making it one of the keys to completing all the users. Something of an enigma. Despite 'I.E.' being generally accepted as having been allocated to (The Curator of) Intestate Estates, there is no official record of an allocation to this user. Notably, 'I.E.' is not included in the official audit listing of the stock-on-hand of the Departmentals made in October 1871. And, in 1892, MP Castle wrote to Charles Todd seeking clarification of some of the lettering combinations and Todd was unable to explain 'I.E.'. For these reasons, Don Pearce believes that 'I.E.' is an Error of Lettering for 'E.' of Engineer. It could also be an error for 'I.S.', but not for 'I.A' (for which only Red Overprints were provided). We do query how such an obvious error could go uncorrected for at least the three years across which usage is recorded. Also, it would stand to reason that it should exist on the other five 'E.' denominations, but no examples on any of those values have been recorded. Perhaps Anthony Presgrave should have the last word. Based on his research, he believes that two panes of 60 were issued to the Curator, leaving none in reserve to be included in the -.10.1871 audit which, as noted above, was for "stock-on-hand".

Rated RRR. Don Pearce's very fine example sold for $1375 (Sale 247 Lot 449).

The remarkably late date range of 19.6.1874 to 9.10.1875 suggests this denomination was never used in the early period, probably because the Lunatic Asylum did not mail out Printed Matter items. It is a distinct possibility that all the recorded examples were used by the Government Printer to post the 'Government Gazette'. (Image1)
