Australia King George V Known Varieties.

Hi all and KGV Collector



This first stamp has a Roo with a "Poo attached" I can not find it in the ACSC, so has anyone else seen it.


The Second one is listed in Gibbons as SG21a die II and is quite valuable, but it has another fault at the extreme right above and near the emu.



These two I am not sure about, are they just guidelines on the extreme left?



These two are listed in the ACSC
the 1st on the left is 70 (3)f, but is it a comb or normal perforation. The 2nd is 70-74(4)n but again what sort of perforation is it.




Now This one, what is it, is it another rusted cliche, as the roo is almost just a blob?

I have examined more that three hundred penny reds, and found these, so I do not know what else I may find in the others.
Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

Top example looks an interesting shade.

The 2nd needs to be looked at. Maybe a cracked eletro. Its the strangest printing flaw!

3rd looks to be a single line perf. The centering......

4th with the missing top & bottom perf pin is interesting!

5th seems to have 2 constant printing flaws that I can recall but not together more looking for this one.

7th is a stunner! Kiss print? Double print? Dry ink? Or maybe a kiss print & dry ink?There is a lot going on with this stamp.

Very Nice Lot Of Penny Red. Thanks for Sharing! Very Interesting!

Hi KGV Collector and all others

These are three more KGV varieties that I have found, and the search goes on.

This one says TWO PENGE instead of TWO Pence, but I do not know if it is a listed variety.

Does this one qualify as the roo poking out his tongue?


This one is definitely listed in the ACSC, but I love sharing finds, and it gives persons hope that there are other copies still out there.

Your 11/2d Brown looks like a variety but I think it would prove to be a tin shed.

Hello! And was wondering how rare are these stamps?

I have a few, do you want me to display them?

Hi Oliver,

I would love to see what you have, it is great to see what others have.

Also KGV, what is a tinshed?

Will this work?

Trying to upload images.

Horamkhet have you had a chance to see the stamps I posted?

Hi Oliver

Can you scan at a larger resolution, and I can look at them for you.

A Tinshed flaw is when gum is splashed onto the stamp face before printing and when the stamp is soaked off paper the splashed gum dissolves and part of the design
washes away.

Tinshed examples

I try'ed to scan the stamps at a 300 resolution but it still wont let me upload images!

Will this help?
