 1901 QV Amended Designs without 'POSTAGE' V/Crown Watermark QV 6d emerald SG 380 block of 12 (6x2) from the upper-left corner of
the sheet, two upper units [Pos R1/4-5] with Cracked Electro from Queen's Hair through Right Value Tablet extending into the next unit from Left Value Tablet through Queen's Face to Right Frame ACSC V5d(var), the upper margin slightly trimmed, the
lower-right two units with a small perf reinforcement otherwise unmounted, Cat $255+ for one variety unit (see below) and eleven mounted singles (£168+ for mounted normal singles). A technically significant piece. RPSL Certificate (2024) states
"horizontal scratch", which is incorrect: the flaw is not straight, curving to follow elements of the design, and is clearly a 'crack'. Not recorded by Geoff Kellow. The ACSC-listed variety "Horizontal Scratch above Right-Hand '6' into Hair" has not
been plated and is based on seeing an example of the left-hand unit only. Both units together in this block provides clear evidence of a Cracked Electro, and plates the varieties. (Image1)
