I haven't posted any to this thread for a while. Here is an Australian Scott 60 with a very prominent Obliterator 214. I don't have a resource for identifying why this would be on my Aussie stamp. Can someone explain how/why this would happen? Thanks in advance.

Partime,
Don't understand the question.

The "killer" portion of a duplex hammer. (type 4a)
Suggestion.
6 bar 214
Toowoomba then Blandford NSW
Birregurra Victoria. (R) Nope...this is type 2A

Not my specialty area, treat with caution.

You answered my question. (I was trying to figure out the location ... Toowomba, etc.) Thanks.

Here's the same Scott number 60, ACSC 65. I can't quite place the electro or variety in my 2014 ACSC. Has anyone seen this type (white flaw behind kangaroo)? It is close to 65(7)k, but may be an earlier state?

The 214 cancellation is neither Toowoomba or Blandford. Neither office received a barred numeral type device.

I's day it's Birregurra, Victoria.

Well, I think I can guarantee Victoria State. Everything in this group of 200+ were Victoria. Thanks for the information.

Bobby,
could not find any representative Pmk on the web,
one would presume quite scarce?

There was a "214" in Tasmania, not sure what type.

If you have a scan of the 214 duplex, would be delighted to see it.

I really would like to find out. This is the only stamp in all of my Australia holdings that has a barred numeral. Thanks for looking Rod, Bobby.

Edit: Found one here: http://www.lluxmalls.top/other-aust...p-10285.html

Opinion:
I think you're right, not strong enough for me to place as a "flaw" but certainly different from the majority of my holdings.

Details KGV Sideface, Sc#60 (provided large multiple crown over A)
bluish green
Perf 14 comb
Electros 4,5,6,7.

Kangaroo has large blob over eye and part of ear.
Shading lines back of Kangaroo compromised (and retouched later) (Left pane)

Look for :
Wmk inverted $40
Wmk sideways $40,000


For interest
Sc#60A "thin half at right" CV $120
Yellowish Green



Standard Sc#60 halfpenny green
shewing shading lines back of Kangaroo.
Pale dull green.

I looked through all my stamps, specifically looking for this item ... nothing. That's a tough one to find. Thanks for posting the example.

I just received a nice item. Scott #2, 1d, Die I, but with a Notch in left frame S.W. of Western Australia, 2(C)e, is pretty easy to see. What is nice is that it is also the Inverted Watermark version. Inverted watermark is priced as AUS $50, while the 2(C)e in a normal watermark is priced as AUS $20. I would think the combination would catalog a little more, though this is not a VF stamp by any stretch of the imagination. A nice find for US $3.00.

That is a cracker.
May I have permission to save as a record, please.?

Also, looks like it may be a KL 56 (6) b
(Adams, Bell, Pope)

Absolutely Rod. Here is a better closeup of the area that you noticed.

Boy, I really need to get some better literature to help spot these things.
