Coil stamp? The 5d version of the Black-backed magpie shown was never issued as a postage stamp. An explanation of what it actually was, can be seen here:

Right you are, thanks Jill.
First time I had seen it mentioned was in a Prestige Auction Sale of Australian Coil Stamps.
It must have been subsidiary information, I took it as an unissued coil.

Thanks for the correction, and the link, Super.

(Yankalilla handstamp)

Sc#422 1966 4c Christmas.

I am wondering if the non philatelic journalist, has made an error?
Any members aware this stamp has a variety, attracting a price of $15,000 ?

Stanley Gibbons Pt. 1 lists variety SG407a. Value omitted.
"No. 407a was caused by a shift of the yellow-olive which covered the white face value."
Listed at £2000 in year 2000 ed.

Wow. There you go then.
Thanks Jill, for taking the time to search for us.

PS: Congratulations on a spanking win by St. Kilda over Richmond.

A super win indeed! Go Saints!

I think the large amount quoted in your article was probably for a pair of those stamps. This will show more clearly why the 4c is missing:
