1915 6d Blue Kangaroo VFU first print *INVERTED WATERMARK* - $A295 - The inverted watermark occurred only in the first J. B. Cooke printing in the midst of WWI, as lax attention was given to these things, as most experienced printers had enlisted. Superb used, clean and fresh and flat and attractive, totally free of the usual hinged and gook and gunk. Crisp upright cds of tiny rural ‘MILLTHORPE - 24 JY - 16 – NSW’ - population today 1,250 - back then a few 100 - maybe! ACSC $275 for normal shade inverted, but this is the scarce Dull Dark Blue Cooke shade - ACSC 19c, rated 400% more than the usual one, and hence an $1,100 cat stamp in the usual rough condition. This as can be seen, is an absolute GEM copy. $A295 - Stock 479HQ
