Lot Details
1952/65 2/6d aboriginal with wmk sideways inverted (top of crown facing to the left as seen from behind). Fine used with light indistinct cds. A damaged pair sold for $5500 at auction in April 2011. This stamp sold undamaged in our last auction for $2900 while another pair was offered by a dealer for $15,000 so continues to be a rare stamp. A small 4mm tear at base is not apparent from front. An opportunity to secure this difficult stamp at a lower price. SG 253aw Cat. £5000
