Queensland 1880+ S.g. Stamp Type 11 And 12 - P Of Word Pence With A Long Downstroke

Good Morning,

I'm reading through the Stanley Gibbons book and I'm slightly confused. I have both S.G. type 11 and 12 stamps...

"In T 12 the shading lines do not extend entirely across as in T 11 thus leaving a white line down the front of the throat and point of the bust."



I also see a note where the T 12 "No. 3 of the 2d. has "P" of word "PENCE" with a long downstroke"

T 12 2p - long downstroke of "P" of word "PENCE" - CONFIRMED



Where is the long downstroke of "P" of word "PENCE" in the T 11 six pence?

T 11 6p - long downstroke of "P" of word "PENCE" - UNCONFIRMED



Maybe I'm just not reading it right... thanks for looking and the help

The note under SG178 gives a clue: 'plates made up of groups of four electrotypes.....four types of the....6d'

Lowe (as he so often does) has the answer. Yours is type III (ii) 'Long leg to "P" of "PENCE"'.

Nice resource Bobby De La Rue - thank you for the help
