1D overprint on 3d Platy NEW FINDS

#1 Post by Revenuer » Tue Nov 15, 2016 12:51 pm

I have been doing some work on the 1D overprint on the 3d platypus.

So far i have been able to find 5 singles and a pair plus the known sheet which is separated into two halves via the horizontal gutter.

5 of the 7 have REVENUE off centre and 2 [a pair] have REVENUE centre.

Here is my first find a dropped 1D by 2mm at row 9 stamp 9.

Others include double surcharge row 12 stamp 5 ,which happens to be one of the 5 singles recorded:

Plus Bill has a single.

Other varieties that can be found:

'1' of '1D' leaning to the right. Found in row 1 stamps 6&8. Row 2 stamps 1&9. Row 6 stamp 10.

Thick 'D' in '1D' [showing a smaller centre] Row 7 stamp 1. Row 10 stamps 4&5. Row 11 stamp 10.

Surcharge double: Row 12 stamp 5.

This now begs the question were these done singularly or was it a full mould of 120.

Any thoughts or additions?

One more used example has come to light.

New Total; 6 with REVENUE off set to the right plus a vertical pair REVENUE centre and the full sheet [in two halves] showing REVENUE centre.
