The one that has been giving me problems is MR2D, the 50 cent Admiral WAR TAX overprint in mint. I never see these for sale until recently, when two different auction houses had them available. Although it is not VF, which is my usual requirement, I can live with this one. Sorry for the blurry photo. Wanted to get it on here quickly.  |

Just wondered if you can shed any light on the item below which is obviously Admiral related.  |

Congrats on completing the admiral collection, I'm working on one myself, but I have a long way to go as a newbie! |

Congratulations
I just have to get a 10 cents plum in MNH. I do have one in MLH and would like to have the set complete in MNH. Still, I am satisfied I have these.

Congrats,
I am still looking for a nice MR2Di. I don't care if it is mint or used (a nice used with light cancel would be great). As long as it is not faulty (crease, tear, thin) and decently centred.
scotzm: what you are showing may be a template used to illustrate plate varieties (eg. re-entries, plate flaws, etc.) Often used in the past, especially before close up scanning was common. |

I was bidding on an MR2Di last month but it went for too much. If I see one at auction and I can get it for a good price, I will try again but I am pretty satisfied with this one.
scotzm, I don't know what that image is as I have never seen one before. Probably is what 3Dadeo said it was. |

O.K. Thanks for the input re my Admiral template. Looking at the value tablet, the design is obviously of the single figure denomination type.
Something to research someday. Cheers! |

Congrats Tom! I am still in search of all three War Tax overprints to round off my set of admirals. I have also noticed that any of the overprints are hard to find, especially at a price point I am willing to swallow. |

I don't recall the first two being all that hard but this one took a long time. I would like to find one with better centring or maybe even the "Inland Revenue" variations but I think I will wait for a while. |

The Admirals are my favourite of the several Canadian George V sets. I have a complete mint set of the base values but many of them are lightly hinged and centering is a little off on a couple, so I will try to upgrade the latter when I can. Now looking for coils and some of the War Tax issues. |

Here is a Mint Hinged MR2Di, what would be a typical price for this one?  |

I would definitely buy that one if the price was right. A less-well centered one just went for $42 on ebay, but it also had a crease. Assuming the one pictured has no hidden faults, it would probably be over $100, maybe $150+ depending. Is it yours? |

I was bidding for one on Weeda Auctions and it went for over $300, I think. It was a nice one too. VFNH. |

There is a copy available at Maresch Auctions. EF NH. Probably will go for a large amount.
