Can anyone confirm if this is a Australia Scott #8a type III? Thanks.  *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

I don't think anyone could advise from this scan. The important area for a Die III is the frame opposite the Kangaroo's nose. There should be a small (or big) break there. Plus, you have to have the correct watermark, which is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the Wide A and Narrow A varieties.
Lastly, it looks like a 9p value to me. (Not a 6p which is the Scott 8 version.) |

A 9p in blue now that would be special .
Lastly, it looks like a 9p value to me. (Not a 6p which is the Scott 8 version.) |

Yes, you are absolutely correct that it is a 6p. Sorry for my earlier mistake. However, I would still need to see a big scan of the area opposite the nose. Thanks for bringing this one back. |

Without seeing a larger image I can state without any doubt that your 6d is a Die2B - which I think is a Scott Die111. Top right rounded corner with extensive shading break over value tab are a sure sign.

I don't know about worthless, but not worth the catalog value, for sure. It's a keeper. Keep looking for more ... |
