Hi to all,

In the ACSC, Queen Elizabeth II 1952-1966 is listed on page 8/156, item 385d which is a colour spot under "S" of Australia.

I found this one while re-housing all my pre-decimal Christmas stamps. The stamp is MNH.

In the left hand corner just in front of the "A" of Australia is colour spot.

It is not listed in the current edition of the ACSC.

I have enlarged the item. but it is easily seen by the naked eye.

Has anyone else got a copy or seen a copy?

Regards

Horamakhet

Hi Horamakhet

Nice variety, I do not have one with the spur (colour spot), never knew it existed, will have to look for one. A few stamps and listings were removed from the new ACSC which I find ridiculous. I have a scarce ½d kangaroo that was listed in the 2015 ACSC, but was removed from the 2019 edition.

What was promised to be included in the 2019 edition was not, and stamps that were meant to stay in the new edition were removed without explanation.

Hi Rob,

I noticed that with the KGV and KGVI stamps. Also they changed the numbers of some of them and it is confusing, especially if you have catalogued them using the old numbers.

And as you said, a lot of stamps that were going to be included in all the new editions never made it.

I just wish that they would produce a colour edition of the QEII decimal stamps.

I know it would be a long process, but they could break it up into four volumes.

What is the scarce one that was removed, who knows I might find one.

Regards

Horamakhet
