re: AUSTRALIA TWO POUND ROLLER FLAW.
The retouch roller flaw is scarcer than the roller flaw. Whoever wants to look for one would need to have a good magnifying glass and know what to look for. As I am very particular about the centring of these COAs, I'm still looking for a well centred to superbly centred copy, I'm sure one will come my way eventually.

re: AUSTRALIA TWO POUND ROLLER FLAW.
Hi Horamakhet
Here is how the stamps look when various shades are added, I have two roller flaws, the thin paper roller flaw is one of only two in existence, the second one was recently sold at Status International (Hopefully one day it will come home to its twin).
Roller flaws are scarce (with the exception of the thin paper).

re: AUSTRALIA TWO POUND ROLLER FLAW.
The illustration is not a good example as the retouch was corrected where it is nearly impossible to see. The majority of roller flaw retouches leave a weakened base of the “2” where the shading lines are weak, in many cases some of the shading lines are missing.

Next week I'll be posting the 1965 ANZAC set with various shades and varieties of the blue 8d such as the broken rope, missing pocket, retouched rays of light making the rays a distinctive white, very worn chest flaw, chest flaw, etc, in singles, pairs, strips of three, strips of 4, blocks of 4 and a block of 10.
