 FIVE SHILLINGS: 5/- Coronation Robes on Thick Paper ACSC J7 (SG J7) complete sheet of 80 comprising upper and lower panes of 40
(10x4) with imprint and both Perf Pip blocks of 4, missing the No Stop after 'F ' and No Stop after 'O ' but including the '13' for 'B' variety #J7f, remarkably well-centred for this issue, some small areas of toning in the margins and we noted one
stamp with a tonespot, folded in the gutter & some minor perf separation in the margins, generally very fine to superb unmounted, Cat $23,750+ for singles plus the imprint and perf pip blocks (£12,000+ for singles). The only complete sheet we have
seen of either printing. Sybrand Bakker's unmounted Thin Paper block of 32 (8x4; no imprint) from the lower pane - stated there to be "By far the largest 5/- block we have seen" - sold in 2013 for $5125 (Sale 184 Lot 1583).
The ACSC states that the position of the '13' variety on the forme has not been identified. We can now confirm that it is [Lower Pane 1/3]. The ACSC also lists the three varieties mentioned above for the Thin Paper printing but David Adams believed
that they had been corrected by then. Sybrand Bakker's block of 32 showed corrections to the '13' and Missing Stop after 'O ' varieties. If they do exist, at least they should be worth a lot more than on the Thick Paper stamps (not less, as is
currently the case). Unless someone can produce examples of #J8d e & f, we suggest that they should be deleted (Image1) (Image2)

discovery, there has been debate about the status of these coil oddities: our belief is that an uncut sheet, or part of a sheet was used for cancellation trials, that seem to have been unsuccessful because we have no other record of this marking. Ex
