   i KGV Collector and others Here are some interesting varities that I picked up in a recent purchase. The half penny green is actually listed in the ACSC catalogue, so I am rapped. The orange one is a quite spectacular variety. The cost of each stamp worked out at about 20 cents per stamp, so I have truly found some nice item.s Regards Horamakhet |

Very nice Horamkhet.
Can you find anything for the 41/2d violet around the words four pence half penny being the "FOH" & Dash above the "FO"?
The inside area of the right number "2" on the 2d Orange.
The 1/2d green is interesting. Does the large flaw halfway up the left side on the outer print of the stamp a constant printing flaw that you can find?
Nice Stamps! |

I found a Scott 67 (SG 95) that I thought had some indications of a Re-Entry, but would like everyone's opinion.  The upper right has some indications of a twisting Re-Entry ... don't you think?  A little uneven on the lower left outside line.  And an extra line on the right side. Maybe a compartment line?  |

OK, either very odd, or very common. I just found a twin in my limited collection. Huh?  |

And here is an Australia Scott 68 with an incomplete left line. Also, compartment dots at each corner. Somehow I missed these in my last look at these items. Entire  Left Side line  |

I only have a few KGVs floating around somewhere so
I have really no hands on experience with them but
this thread is just great.
There seem to be so many varieties/flaws in this long
running definitive issue that I wonder are there any
" normal " stamps out there ?
It is really fascinating reading and viewing ,no
wonder the Aussie collectors go crazy over this series.

They look so promising to be constant printing flaws.
But I can not get a match in ACSC. The 11/2d red looks like a classic and I am sure I have seen one but just can not find it!
The fly speck books might show up the 1d green.
Maybe someone else..... |

I had originally thought that the 1d green was a twisted re-entry, but was reminded by Re-entries.com that the only possible re-entries are from line-engraved stamps, not lithographed. Oh well ... nothing from my stuff appearing on his list any time soon.
In any case, the 1d is quite the interesting error that I "thought" I had seen somewhere else, but also cannot find the reference to this one. Any further help would be appreciated. |

No that is wrong information.
The single line perforations only took place in 2 very small printing one was the 1d red the other the 5d brown.
re-entry are the replacement of small printing plates I think?
I am not up to oil a re-entry. But I do know it is a servicing issue because of fixing damaged prints in basica1ly happened in many printings.
Thank you Aussie Al. Good to hear from you! Great info! |

Aussie, KGV ... thanks for the very useful information on these issues. I think that we have identified the 1 1/2 d Red. The 1d Green is of greater interest (especially since I found two of them so quickly). Ralph Trimble of Re-entries.com was kindly able to view these two, plus another earlier one, and gave me the bad news about re-entries, in general: Quote:
However, following your recent messages with scans of Australia and France
stamps, I wanted to point out an extremely important and basic fact about
re-entries to you....they ONLY occur on line-engraved stamps. The stamps I
just mentioned that you have sent lately are both typographed, and while
some stamps printed by typography or lithography may show lines that
resemble re-entries, they are not.
Re-entries come from plates that have been manufactured by applying a steel
transfer roll to a steel plate and rocking, or rolling, the number of images
into the steel for the required number of designs on the plate. This process
results in lines of ink that are raised up from the surface of the paper,
whereas lithographed and typographed stamps are perfectly flat and smooth
and were created by two very different processes from engraving.
Be sure to visit the re-entries website often. I find it to be a fantastic source of information. So, I continue to learn and will continue to ask a variety of questions. It's not the destination that is important, it's the journey. |
