Lot Details
1902/17 5d bistre, V/Crown wmk, perfined "OS". Note in ACSC, page 1/347 states "The first archival record of the supply of OS purchases is of 60,000 stamps… probably also included a quantity of V over Crown stamps from rejected sheets. The printing must have been small as this is a very scarce stamp". Cat. $300 (2004)
