Victoria
Lot 1103 Victoria
Description
1905-13 'POSTAGE' Crown/A Watermark 1d rose-red marginal single from the right-hand side of the sheet with Mixed Double Perforations at Right between the stamp & margin creating an Irregular Compound Perf 12½x11x½12x12 ACSC V48 (SG 447), minor gum bend, lightly mounted in the margin only, the stamp unmounted, under-catalogued at $200 (£100) for mounted. Gibbons does not differentiate between Compound Perfs and the much scarcer Mixed Perfs. The original Perf 12½ row at right was misplaced and has been corrected with a Perf 11 row immediately to the left. The ACSC states that mint examples survive from at least two sheets, but only five pieces - the last two columns in a complete sheet; a pair & strip of 3 ex Rodney Perry (not seen since the 1990s); and two singles (one of which is this stamp) - are known
