Hi, I recently found this 1d red Victorian stamp with sideways watermark in a lot that I was sorting. The watermark looks like crown over A sideways pointing to the right when viewed from the back of the stamp. It is perf 12.5 on the sides and 12.25 top and bottom. Can someone please advise if this is a common watermark variety or if it has any value?

Thank you!

PS. forgive me if I've made any newby mistakes with this post.

Hi pjs

Also with the early colonial Australian stamps, the watermarks were all over the place, so some are upright, sideways, etc.
