3455 o 44b imageSouth Australia, 1872, Queen Victoria, 3d on 4d deep ultramarine, perf 11½-12½, surcharge omitted (Scott 44b), Large Star watermark, canceled G.P.O. Adelaide cds, Aug 1879, extraordinarily bright, fresh and well centered, Very Fine, 1981 APS certificate.
SG 68c; £14,000 ($21,280).
Scott $15,000.
Estimate $15,000 - 20,000

The 4d with surcharge omitted is the premier rarity of South Australian philately. Only thirteen examples have been recorded, three unused (one in the Royal collection) and ten used (four owned by institutions). There are, therefore, only two unused and six used examples available to collectors.

The example we offer here is number U7 in the illustrated census compiled by Geoff Kellow that appeared in the Sydney Views issue of November 2011. Mr. Shartsis acquired it in a Christies Robson Lowe Melbourne auction in May of 1988. The stamp appears to be the mate of Kellow's U4, which bears the same 1879 cancellation, but with a complete date of August 9.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire one of the two finest recorded examples of one of the great Classic Rarities of Australian (and World) Philately. (Image) 		Scott $15,000
