1906-10 'COMMONWEALTH' Crown/A 9d yellow-brown & ultramarine Type B Perf 11 ACSC Q45B (SG 285), well centred, faint cds cancel, Cat $1500 (£800). Rare and greatly underappreciated. Chris Ceremuga Certificate (2015) states "superb example". [The ACSC states that "There may be as many as 12 used examples, with two in the Royal Collection". Why, then, should such a rare stamp have such modest catalogue values? A very attractive example sold at our auction of 17.2.2012 for $3030. However, another very fine example sold at our auction of 10.11.2022 for $628]

1906-10 'COMMONWEALTH' Crown/A 9d yellow-brown & ultramarine Type B Perf 11 punctured 'OS' ACSC Q45Bb (SG 285var), excellent centring, very fresh and neatly cancelled, Cat $1500 (£800, for unpunctured). Very rare and greatly underappreciated. [The ACSC states that "There may be as many as 12 used examples, with two in the Royal Collection, and one...punctured OS". The comments for the previous lot, are even more pertinent here. We do know of three other 'OS' examples: that's a total of four, making this an extremely rare stamp. Two of the others sold at our auctions of 29.2.2020 and 10.11.2022 for $575 and $688 respectively]
