Hi All
I have a Western Australia, Scott #89, 1/2 Penny gray-green (deep green?) which is supposed to be perforated 11 or perforated 13. This stamp is definitely perforated 14! This is not all though. The stamp is also supposed to be watermark #13, which would be the Crown & Double Lined "A" ; however, this stamp is definitely with a clear watermark "Crown & CA", which is not listed in my Scott's, regular or Classic edition. This plus the fact it is watermarked sideways as well.
Can anyone with Australian stamps expertise tell me what I have? The only thing I do know is that I won't be able to afford a yacht on this but, would like to know its' approximate value.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thanks all for your responses. Sorry there wasn't a scan but thought the Scott number would suffice etc.

Nigel and Rod, you both hit it right on the head. I guess I just skipped it looking for it :(

Have a great day
