Hi to all

The following stamp is hard to get a good picture of the watermark and this is the best I could


[/URL]




Now on each of the stamps, it can be seen that the sideways watermarks are as follows, one is to the left of the CoA, and the other is to the right of the CoA when viewed from the back, therefore one has to be the famed SG253aw. Sorry but this is the clearest photos I can get of the watermarks.
However, I would think that this stamp is not as rare as it used to be, as there seems to be a few more copies turning up these days.
Regards
Horamakhet.

Hi Partime,

It was actually in a bulk lot of stamps that cost me one cent each.

I recently sold albums of stamps that I had acquired over time, but kept back a couple to focus on Australian stamps.
This particular stamp came to my attention after viewing a post on Youtube on rare Australian stamps. I DO have one, mint but hinged.
Naturally, I take issue with the valuation, so the question is, what is the true nature of this stamp SG 253aw?
The watermark is definitely C of A left of crown, and will post a picture if required, but it's information I need.
Hopefully someone can help…
Cheers
