I've never seen a stamp placed on another stamp. How would this stamp be valued? Thanks for all feedback.

I suppose that's one way to pay a 1sh3d revenue fee. Perhaps space was tight on the document? Neat. |

Since they do not appear to be attached to the document, I doubt there will be any extra value. If the 1/- has been damaged, it might even detract from its value. Soaking even if there is no damage to the 1/- will leave a gap in the cancel of that stamp, lowering its value.
Most likely, it will depend on how eager a revenue collector would be in this novelty. If not, it may be less than that of the two separate stamps. |

Agreed, on an envelope would look much better. There is also a perfin on both that looks like a capital R. |

I'd keep them together, for whatever interest they hold. In the current Barefoot, the top stamp might be Bft #51, and if so, it catalogues at .20. The bottom stamp is most likely to be Bft #20, if it has a sideways watermark, and it catalogues .50. If there is no watermark, it catalogues at 5.00.
If I was flipping through a stack of dealer cards and saw this combo for a dollar, I'd buy it. If it was five dollars, I'd keep flipping.
My 2d. |

I'd be keeping it as is - its been like that for quite a long time after all, and has its own story to tell! |

Thanks for the recent posts it's worth keeping just for the uniqueness. Can someone point me in the right direction of identifying what company the perfin R stands for? Is there a catalogue of Australian perfins, as I've seen some listings for the US & Canadian stamps. |
