Does anyone have a copy of the second allocation 60 as am trying to tell the difference with the 1st allocation and having a hard time?

Paul

Thanks for that.

It will be interesting to see what they use or do.

Cheers

Thanks pete, I just find with the imperf and perf chalons it can be tough to see whether the thinning in the stamp that shows the watermark at times is due to the fiscal being removed or just the stamp itself. I was not sure whether fiscal marks and the agent to remove left some sort of residue that...

How can one tell if a fiscal mark has been removed from stamp?

Does a uv lamp help?

Thanks Ross and will do the compare with a 11.8 perf sideface.

Thanks Ross.

As far as the 4d chalon goes with the unusual watermark. The seller never got back to me..

Does anyone know of a 1870 1d sideface watermark 10 that is perf 12.25? I picked it up a few weeks ago and initially thought it was 11.8 but it is 12.25 and the misperf is 12 and is approx 8mm from side.

Any thoughts anyone?

Was the 4d chalon ever printed on number 6 watermarked paper by mistake?

Which of the 2 number '29' cancels here is actually the 2nd allocation as they both appear different?

This is being advertised as a reprint. I thought that the reprints of the 1d and 4d couriers had the plates all defaced. Any thoughts, fake?

Bill,

Do you have any idea what they have previously sold for at auction?

Cheers

Interesting SPECIMEN set come up on ebay.

Do these come up frequently at auction?

Are fiscally used copies of this less valuable than one that has been cancelled?

I just notice a lot on ebay and interested in people's thoughts of what to look out for etc.

Thanks Ross, will get in contact with Peter about issue 29.

regards
Paul

Is there a ratings on the rarity for the 1st Allocation like there is with the 2nd and the CDS on pictorials?

What did it sell for on ebay David?

Amazing find.

Hopefully i have attached this correctly.

Be interested to hear peoples thoughts on what this is?

regards
Paul

Cheers
