After almost 8½ years I finally own a blue £1 thin paper Coat-of-Arms, well centred and mint unhinged.
The thin £1 blue is very seldom seen in any condition, and to find one in the condition I preferred had made the search even more difficult. I was sent a camera phone image of the stamp and I have added that image to the presentation (I will be receiving it soon). In reality the stamp is dull blue, same shade as the stamp at the top right.
But the collection is still not complete as there are proofs, roller flaws and major varieties to collect, but to find the £1 thin paper made my week.
All the high value stamps are very rare (£1 & both £2 thins), but the high value stamps (5/-, £1, £2 (without the roller flaw) make a complete set.
This collection has taken many years to get this far. I'm very pleased to have a complete set of three thin papers. The £2 thin with roller flaw was a great bonus when I placed it in my collection a few years back.
I'm still working on my Sydney Harbour Bridge collection, just added the "holy grail" of Harbour Bridge stamps, the 2d forgery, it is very rare, and very seldom seen.
