Hello, continuing the theme of two stamps that look
the same but are not. These two were issued in coils in 1971. They had two
types, known as Type I and Type II. Type I, the left hand stamp, has a
much thinner typeface for the word Australia and a thinner 2 in the value.
Quite easy to see. Which one do you have? Type I is SG 465a with a
catalogue value of just 20p (GBP) while Type II is SG 465b with a catalogue
value of £1.25. Cat value is not everything of course but nice to know which is
which I think, especially if you are in a stamp exchange.
My apology, a
little plug for the cddstamps online store cannot be missed. We have a few
pairs for sales in the store, at the time of writing, and the same goes for the
Waratah stamps I showed the other day. We also have some 8000+ Australia stamps from
which we hope you might be able to fill a few gaps in your collection. And,
all new listing have both SG and Scott catalogue references and reason for issue
description so it will be easy for you to find a specific stamp that you might
be looking for.
Enough said just visit the store at https://www.hipstamp.com/store/cddstamps
Enjoy your stamps
Best wishes Michael
