6 4 HOW TO BUY AT MOSSGREEN AUCTIONS We have compiled the following guide to assist you with the exciting process that is bidding at auction. Viewing Mossgreen s printed catalogues are available approximately two weeks prior to an auction sale date. Online catalogues are posted at approximately three weeks prior to the auction date. Catalogues can be subscribed to yearly, or you can collect a complimentary copy at the viewing. The viewing days are typically the three or four days prior to the Auction date from 10.00am 5.00pm at the location/s printed in the catalogue and on the website. LOT DESCRIPTIONS are the basic catalogue information given such as dimensions, date or age, medium, attribution, provenance, quantity and so on. All lots are guaranteed for 30 days from the auction date. The website gives a clear size guide in relation to the average sized person, as well as signature and multi-view details for selected higher priced items. ESTIMATES are printed for all lots and can take into account rarity, condition, quality and provenance. In this catalogue all lots are offered with a reserve of 75% of the low estimate. No lot will be sold for less than 75% of the low estimate. TALK TO OUR SPECIALISTS who are always happy to discuss any lot with you in greater detail. Their contact details for a particular sale are published in each appropriate catalogue and on the website. CONDITION REPORTS are available upon request. These supplement the catalogue description and provide guidance on a lot s condition. They are advisable to obtain if you cannot view the item in person and have any queries. Please send request to: condition.reports@mossgreen.com.au SYMBOLS occasionally, a symbol is printed next to a lot number, indicating a special clause regarding the sale of that lot you may come across the following at our sales: GST on HAMMER, meaning this GST added onto not just the Buyers Premium, but the hammer price also. Artist copyright resale royalty, meaning that this lot is subject to an artist s resale royalty.

7 5 Bidding Mossgreen Auctions offers all clients four options to bid at our auctions: 1. AT THE AUCTION Experience the excitement, theatre and fun of bidding at a live auction. To bid in person, make sure you arrive with enough time to register for a bidding number, and if you haven t purchased with Mossgreen before then you will need to bring along some photo identification such as a driver s licence or passport. 2. TELEPHONE BIDDING The perfect solution for when you can t attend in person. Mossgreen staff bid individually with you over the telephone, relaying each bid and what is happening in the room itself and will bid on your behalf upon your instructions. Please note that telephone bids must be organised with at least 24 hours notice, and that on occasion telephone bids will be limited if the auction is offsite. You will be advised if this is the case in the catalogue and on the website. To organise a telephone bid please refer to the telephone bidding page at the back of this catalogue. The Cover Bid section is optional, however useful if you are uncontactable at the last minute, or the telephone line drops out- you are authorising Mossgreen to bid to that amount on your behalf. Mossgreen offers telephone bids on all lots, in all auctions. 3. ABSENTEE BIDS The ideal solution when you can t attend in person, action a telephone bid, or simply have a budget you wish to stick to. An absentee bid requires your maximum bid to be recorded for the lot numbers you are interested in bidding on, and should the lot be knocked down to a lesser amount than recorded under your number, and you are the highest bidder on the auctioneer s book, then the lot will be sold to you for the lesser hammer price. Please note absentee bids must be received no later than 24 hours prior to the auction commencement time. To organise an absentee bid, please refer to the absentee bidding form at the back of this catalogue, and further details are available in the Terms and Conditions of Sale section, also at the back of this catalogue. An must be supplied at the time of submitting your absentee bid, along with a clear copy of your photo identification if you have not purchased with Mossgreen before. 4.

10 8 CATALOGUE INTRODUCTION MARCH Welcome to the beginning of a new era in stamp and coin auctions in Australia. From 1st December 2014, leading philatelic auction house Prestige Philately merged with Mossgreen Auctions in another step towards Mossgreen becoming the one-stop shop for all collectables, and the first place you think of when buying or selling anything from art and antiques to matchbox labels, from classic cars to classic stamps is already shaping up as a major year for Mossgreen and we invite all our clients to embark on this exciting journey with us. 2. How will the changes in the philatelic department affect you? If you have been a client of Prestige, then it s generally business as usual. The style of the catalogue has changed to reflect the Mossgreen branding, but the contents are as you have come to expect. We remain committed to bringing you the very best in philately, and that will be immediately apparent when you browse through our two March catalogues. Two obvious changes: firstly, the coins section is much larger than you will be accustomed to; and secondly, the cross reference listings have been moved to the back of the book. A less obvious variation is that we now use the Mossgreen dagger symbol, instead of a tiny T, to indicate lots on which GST is payable by Australian clients. The big change is that live on-line bidding is a feature of all Mossgreen auctions. Cutting-edge technology and two large screens keep everyone who is watching the auction in the room or at a computer anywhere in the world abreast of what is happening. With live bidding from around the globe, it s a fascinating experience. In keeping with the business as usual mantra, Mossgreen understand that the stamp market is in some ways different from the world of antiques and art. It has therefore been agreed that the buyer s premium for the stamp and coin sales will be 17% (+GST) for the time being. A credit card fee of 2.2% for payment by Visa or MasterCard, or 3.3% for American Express (including GST), is applicable. Personal cheques will be accepted from clients who have an established good track record, or who have provided suitable trade references. Thus, in most cases, if you attend the sale, you will be able to take your purchases with you. Please note that to participate in our auctions using the live on-line bidding system, you MUST register properly at least 24 hours before the auction is scheduled to commence. You will not be able to log-on unless you have completed this procedure. 3. If you have not previously been a Prestige client, the March catalogues will require some explanation. Prestige/Mossgreen aims to provide all our clients with an auction experience that is second-to-none. We take pride in our work, are enthusiastic about our industry and hobby, and are constantly striving to raise the performance bar. We take inspiration from Walt Disney, who said Do what you do so well that the people will want to come back, and bring their friends with them. We hope you will want to do just that. We want our clients to know exactly what they can expect from the material we offer. We want you to be well satisfied, if not delighted, with your purchases. This is why we provide detailed, professional, descriptions. This is why we enlarge the illustrations of Classic Era stamps, and why we place hundreds of additional scans on our website. This is also why we use a grading system that applies to most lots we offer. It may take some time to get used to it, but we know you will come to not only like the gradings, but to also rely upon them. Our gradings are objective, and we stand behind them. To understand the Prestige/ Mossgreen Grading System, please read page 10. We know we re presenting to you the best material of any firm going around, and we re not shy about singing its praises. If a stamp or cover is unusually fine, or especially rare, if it is of remarkable freshness, or has a story to tell, we have no hesitation in sharing our observations and professional opinions with you. If we re excited about a particular item, we know you will be too. Another innovation that may be new to you is our extensive cross-reference listings. Especially if you collect by subject or theme, the cross-referencing we do can save you a lot of time, and help you uncover items you might have otherwise missed. It s not unusual for covers in particular to be crossreferenced to 6 or more topics, covering the stamps, the origin/destination, instructional handstamps, censorship, airmail, registration, postage due, etc. Even if you think all items for you will be found in one section of the catalogue, please check these listings. You may be very pleasantly surprised at what we will help you find. Regarding estimates, you will notice that we use a single figure rather than a price range. Except for lots estimated at $50 or less - for which there are no effective reserves - or expressed as Offer, virtually every lot is reserved at 75% of the estimate.

11 9 4. Yang, Yoga, Nick and I (and our new department manager, June) have all been delighted with the welcome and encouragement we have received from the wider Mossgreen family. The collaborative ethic that drives the business is as exciting as it is refreshing. The acronym TEAM stands for Together Everyone Achieves More. This ideal drives everything that happens at Mossgreen. The growth of the company means that we already need to hire a new person for the Philatelic & Numismatic Department. We are looking for someone with a can-do attitude, who has a passion for knowledge. Obviously, some experience with stamps and/or coins is desirable, but not critical. If you are that person, or you know someone who you think fits the bill, please contact June Treweek at june.treweek@mossgreen.com.au to learn more about this terrific opportunity. 5. Our second March auction is an eclectic array of fine stamps, coins and postal history etc from around the world, consigned by nearly 100 separate vendors. Please note that the first 114 lots will be offered on Thursday 5th March. This includes a large coins section featuring all sorts of RAM product, an attractive range of gold from many countries, and an affordable example of the iconic 1930 Penny. We also have a few lots of Ephemera and an appealing range of picture postcards, featuring advertising types, humour and military subjects. The Friday sale starts with Miscellaneous stamp and cover lots followed by a world collection that includes some lovely material. Careful inspection and liberal viewing are encouraged. Australia features 120 lots of Kangaroos with numerous varieties plus complete sheets of Third Wmk 2d and Small Multiple Wmk 6d overprinted OS. Complete sheets are also a feature of the 45 lots under KGV Heads. Other Pre- Decimals are rather light on but the John Blomfield sale the day before this more than compensates. Postal history includes many rare and attractive covers and a fabulous parcel tag with Third Wmk 1 grey, Small Multiple Wmk 10/- and 2 plus a Five Bob Bridge! The Flight Covers include several Kingsford Smith rarities. The Australian Colonies are well-represented with rarities from all Colonies/States and a strong Victoria offering. Standouts are an unused 1d Sydney View, a magnificent strip of five 2d Half-Lengths with a phenomenal pedigree, an unused set of Victoria s Ultra High Values with Royal of Victoria certificates, a marvellous underpaid Half-Lengths cover, and the Victorian postmarks and registered covers of the late John Bell from Adelaide. If you collect Colonies postal history, don t miss Michael Lewin s fascinating collection, offered in the separate catalogue for 5th March. Overseas sections are strong in Europe, especially Germany, but also feature superb Israeli First Coins with Tabs and the fascinating Ivory Coast collection formed by Rob Colacino from New South Wales. Ceylon includes a previously unrecorded pre-stamp marking, China features a Mei Lan-fang miniature sheet. A fine collection of Falkland Islands is offered in 19 lots. A Gandhi official presentation booklet is the gem under India. PNG and Pitcairn include modern rarities. And don t miss the Philatelic Literature right at the end of the sale. I must also mention the extensive New Guinea formed by the late RAD Heward from England. This is strong in the German period, 29 lots of GRIs including high values and, of course, the Mandated Territory period featuring RAD s ground-breaking study of the Huts issues. Varieties, numerous complete sheets and elusive STAMP/DUTY overprints including errors are notable. Although RAD was best known for his New Guinea, his Papua is even more significant. Again, there is a remarkable quantity of complete sheets to 2/6d - the largest number we have seen since the sale of Colonel Harrie Evans collection in plus two examples of the rare Perf 12½ 6d SG 70, the enigmatic Compound Perfs Halfpenny, the perf OS 2½d imperforate at right, and more Deformed 4d varieties than you can poke a stick at (including on five different stamps offered as one lot!). The Heward collection is complemented by a lovely array of mainly unmounted Papua including the rare McCracken Imprints in the Pictorials series. 6. In closing, I commend this fine sale to you and, as always, wish you success with your bidding. Gary Watson and your Team at Mossgreen: June Treweek, Nick Anning, Yang Liu, Yoga Ganason and Charles Leski (Consultant).

12 10 UNDERSTANDING OUR SYMBOLS & UNIQUE GRADING SYSTEM At Prestige Philately we utilise much the same symbols as other firms, but with some additional categories that you should be aware of. We are the only major firm in the world that actually grades the quality of the material we offer. While some clients have struggled with the whole concept of grading, most have clearly embraced the idea and we receive much favourable comment about the system. It is important that you understand our Grading System because the symbols used form part of the lot description. We are confident that once you are comfortable with our gradings, you will always be satisfied with the quality of the material you purchase from us. And, in the event that we have missed a tear or a thin and consequently overgraded an item, we WANT you to return it. We stand behind the Prestige Grading System. 1. Firstly, we have the lot number. If it is in bold and printed in bright red, the item is illustrated: e.g (The actual location of the illustration is given at the end of the description: e.g. {Page 41.8} is position 8 on page 41.) 2. The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. Ω Unused, no gum Δ Piece C Cover or card CL Cover, long PS Postal Stationery CX Cover, oversize A Albums and accessories B Booklet E Essay L Literature P Proof R Reprint S Stamp ( Postmarks lots) or, in the case of used stamps, a grading of the cancellation: V O F G H Neat postmark, leaving most of the stamp design clear Used, quality unspecified Neat postmark, across at least half of the stamp design Untidy or indistinct postmark Heavy or poorly struck postmark 3. The third column gives an overall quality assessment for the lot, from A to D. The same standard applies to mint and used stamps, to covers, postal stationery, literature etc. An item graded A is very fine; it has no faults. B items are fine and may have minor imperfections. A C item will exhibit obvious faults. Items in poor condition are rated D. Occasionally, an item in truly superb condition will be rated A+. This grading is used sparingly and is not applied to modern material, which one would normally expect to be in very fine to superb condition. An otherwise very fine item which has a subsidiary problem may be allocated an A-. This may be a stamp with writing or a hinge remainder on the reverse. A cover may have a receiver s endorsement on the face. The halves of a letter card may be stuck together. A book may have a previous owner s notations. Whether this factor makes the item an A- or B is a matter of degree. NB: An expertiser s signature or handstamp on a cover or the reverse of a stamp will not normally be cause for downgrading the quality of an item: such marks will be mentioned and you should make your decision as to whether or not such an item is of the standard that you personally require. Occasionally, the symbol A to C will appear in brackets: eg (B). This signifies that the item has been renovated or repaired and improved to the grade indicated by the letter. The brackets indicate a qualified grading, the cause for which will be mentioned in the description of the lot. 4. The fourth column is relevant to perforated stamps, and also to lots listed under the sub-heading Postmarks. For perforated stamps, this column gives a grading for both centring and perforations. The letter A to D relates to centring. A stamps are very well centred; B stamps are slightly off-centre; C stamps are significantly off-centre, and may have the perforations slightly into the design; D stamps are badly off-centre, with the perforations well into the design. [NB:These gradings are the same for all perforated issues, whether Australian Decimals, De La Rue Colonial keyplates or 19th Century American issues. However, it should be understood that for many issues poor centring is the norm. Thus C, and even D, gradings should be expected and accepted. For such issues a B stamp will be above-average and an A stamp will be considered an exceptional copy.] Following the letter A to D is a number 1 to 4. A stamp with all perforations intact is 1. One or two short perfs, or normal rough perforations, will drop the grading to 2. More notable perforation problems such as the perfs down one side being trimmed will result in a 3 grading. A stamp with major perforation faults will be a 4. [NB:A stamp graded A1 is well-centred with all perforations intact. In many cases, particularly with modern issues, this is the norm. However, for many issues, B2 or even C3 may be normal and quite acceptable.] For lots listed under the sub-headings Postmarks and Ship/Paquebot Markings, or similar, this column gives a grading for quality of the strike of the marking itself, and completeness. Quality is graded from A (very fine) to D (poor). Completeness is graded from 1 (complete) to 5 (identifiable only). + is used for superb strikes; - is used for postmarks that are lightly struck, a little doubled, or otherwise a bit short of the mark. 5. The symbols in the second, third and fourth columns, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description. 6. Figures in the right-hand column are our estimate of value. (If a lot attracts tax for Australian buyers, the estimate is in green, followed by a small "T".) You may bid at, above or below estimate. The reserve price for almost every lot is 75% of estimate (rounded to the nearest bidding step). Bids below this level will not be considered. 7. We use the following standardised abbreviations: o.g. opt(d) PPC d/s cds h/s mss ERD LRD o/o RLabel M/S(s) original gum overprint(ed) picture postcard datestamp circular datestamp handstamp manuscript; handwritten earliest recorded date latest recorded date opened-out registration label miniature sheet(s)

13 TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE (as at 28th January 2015) AUCTIONEER Mossgreen Auctions (Mossgreen), a company incorporated in the State of Victoria, is the auctioneer, and adheres to the standard terms of sale of the Australasian Philatelic Traders Association. 2. DESCRIPTIONS We endeavour to describe lots fully and accurately. The description of a lot comprises 1) the codes to the left of the description; 2) the description; and 3) any illustration of the lot or part of the lot. (The various codes and symbols are explained on the previous page). 3. ESTIMATES The figure in the right-hand column following each lot description is a usually conservative estimate of the auction value of the lot in Australian dollars. A bidder may bid at, above or below the estimate. Bids below the reserve price (usually 75% of the estimate) will not be accepted. There is no reserve on lots listed at $50 or less, or lots for which the word Offer is used in place of the estimate.. 4. BIDDING Bids may be made to Mossgreen from the company s website, by mail, by fax, or by . Bids may also be made in person, by phone or from the internet during the auction (by prior arrangement) or through an agent attending an auction. An agent must advise Mossgreen of the person(s) for whom bids are being submitted or else the agent will be personally liable for payment and delivery of any lots purchased. Mossgreen reserves the right to refuse any bid, or to refuse bids from any person, for any reason. In most cases, Mossgreen s bidding steps are as follows: Increment Amount Dollar Range $20 $0 $500 $50 $500 $1,000 $100 $1,000 $2,000 $200 $2,000 $5,000 $500 $5,000 $10,000 $1,000 $10,000 $20,000 $2,000 $20,000 $50,000 $5,000 $50,000 $100,000 $10,000 $100,000 $200,000 $20,000 $200,000 $500,000 $50,000 $500,000 $1,000,000 Mossgreen reserves the right to raise or lower postal bids (depending on the bidder s apparent intention) to conform to these bidding steps. 5. TELEPHONE BIDDING Bidding by telephone during the course of a public auction is permitted. However, clients wishing to use this service must contact Mossgreen at least 24 hours before the auction regarding the special conditions that apply. [To see these special conditions, go to from where the Assistance for Phone Bidders can be read and downloaded.] 6. LIVE INTERNET BIDDING Bidding from your own computer during the auction is available. However, clients wishing to use this service must contact Mossgreen at least 24 hours before the auction. 7. GOODS & SERVICES TAX (GST) Australian law requires that GST equal to 10% of the knock-down or sale price of a taxed lot shall be payable by the buyer, unless the taxed lot is exported to another country. Taxed lots are indicated in the catalogue by a dagger symbol following the estimate figure: eg 150 T. GST equal to 10% of the amount of any fees or charges added by Mossgreen is also payable by Australian buyers. 8. BUYER The buyer of a lot shall be the person to whom the lot is sold ( knocked-down ) by Mossgreen. In the event of equal bids being received, the earliest such bid shall be successful. In the event of a dispute, Mossgreen shall have absolute discretion in the settling of the dispute. A lot is at the buyer s risk once it has been sold ( knocked-down ) but ownership (legal title) will not pass to the buyer until Mossgreen has received payment in full for the lot 9. PAYMENT Payment is due immediately a lot is sold, or immediately upon receipt of an invoice. In addition to the price for which a lot is sold, the buyer shall pay a premium of 17% of that price, plus any fees for postage packing and insurance applicable or credit card fees that are charged by Mossgreen, plus GST as appropriate. (Payment should always be made in Australian dollars. If payment is made in another currency the buyer shall add the equivalent of $A50 or 3% of the invoice total, whichever is higher, towards bank fees. In the event that the buyer does not make payment in full for the lot(s) within 30 days from the date of the invoice, Mossgreen shall have the right to exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies 1) To impose an accounting fee of $100 per month (or part thereof) plus compound interest at the rate of 5% per month (or part thereof) of the total amount outstanding; 2) To terminate the contract with the buyer, in which case any monies received from the buyer shall be forfeited to Mossgreen; 3) To terminate the contract and resell the lot(s) at any time, in which case any resulting shortfall, plus costs including accounting fees, interest, insurance and resale expenses, shall be met by the original buyer; 4) To apply any monies due at any time from Mossgreen to the buyer in payment of the outstanding amount; 5) To take legal action against the buyer for damages for breach of contract. Payment by credit card will incur a surcharge of 2% for MasterCard and Visa payments and 3% for Amex payments, plus GST. 10. RETURN OF LOTS A lot may be returned, within a reasonable time, only because of an error in the description: see clause 2 for the definition of the description. A lot that has been inspected by the buyer or by the buyer s agent cannot be returned for any reason. A lot that is illustrated in the catalogue or of which an illustration has been supplied to the buyer or to the buyer s agent cannot be returned for any reason that is apparent from the illustration. A lot expressed to be a range, group, selection, array, collection, accumulation or similar, or any other lot containing more than 10 items - excepting sets of stamps - is always offered as is and cannot be returned for any reason. Similarly, other lots offered as is cannot be returned. 11. EXTENSIONS A request for an extension to submit a lot to a recognised expert or expert committee for a Certificate of Authenticity must be made in writing prior to or on the day of the auction. Mossgreen shall have an absolute discretion not to grant an extension. [In particular, an extension will not normally be granted if the lot is offered with a recent Certificate of Authenticity or if the stamp(s) has/have perforated initials (perfins).] If an extension is granted, the buyer must make payment in full for the lot including the buyer s premium, in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 8. The amount paid including the buyer s premium will be refunded in full if the lot is returned with an acceptable bad Certificate. All costs associated with obtaining a certificate shall be borne by the buyer, unless the lot is found to be not as identified in the catalogue, in which case all costs associated with obtaining the Certificate shall be refunded to the buyer, and borne by the seller. A lot described as being defective in any way may not be returned should the Certificate obtained mention any fault not noted in the lot description. The buyer shall not be entitled to reject an item if the certificate includes any finding that does not materially affect the grading of the lot. Unless otherwise agreed, nomination of the appropriate expert or expert committee shall be made by Mossgreen, and Mossgreen will be responsible for submitting the lot to that expert or expert committee. NB: Should Mossgreen agree to the buyer s nomination of an expert or expert committee, the extension granted will be for a period of no more than 90 days from the date of the auction. If a Certificate has not been obtained within 90 days from the date of the auction, the extension shall lapse and Mossgreen may thereafter refuse to accept the return of the lot. 12.

The address label is rather aged & soiled but the tag & stamps are remarkably fine. Probably the foremost Australian stamp usage item - we can't think of anything that comes even close - and certainly the only postal "entire" known to us bearing this combination of the four highest available denominations, or the "Five Bob Bridge" (presumably used here because the mailroom or GPO counter clerk was temporarily out of 5/- Roos). At this time, a "parcel" was limited to 11 lbs (pounds) in weight. As per the Post Office "Guide" (1936) an 11 lb parcel to UK would have cost 6/4d. It is widely believed that above this weight, the letter rate had to be paid. However, "letters" were restricted to 4½ lbs in weight. At this time, the only relevant airmail services were across Australia & the accelerated Karachi-London sector, for which the rate per ounce was 2d Empire letter rate + 6d internal airmail + 1/- Karachi-London. And this solves our rate conundrum: 1/8d x46 for a parcel weighing 2 lb 14oz + 1/6d for the maximum postal insurance fee (for 48 to 50 value) + 3d registration = 3/18/3d. The ACSC prices the Third Wmk 1 at $5000 on cover but the only envelope known to us sold at retail for $9000 several years ago. The 10/- & 2 are unpriced on cover.

However, Gary Watson vividly remembers c.1980 Rodney Perry - yes "Mr Usage"!! - wielding a razor blade to excise a 5/- Bridge from an entire parcel wrapping, which was then tossed in the bin! Parcel tags such as this are almost always from gold bullion sendings to the United States. This is remarkable for being addressed to England. It is also most likely to have been used for sending bullion. The addressee, Johnson Matthey & Co, was based in Sheffield where they were suppliers to the many silver & jewellery manufacturers.

This is the only unused set of the recess-printed stamps known to us. Geoff Kellow at page 247 states "Unused copies [of all recess and litho printings] are extremely rare."

Rated RRR. Ex Koichi Sato. [This strike is one of the very finest recorded & is far superior to the fine strike on fine single 4d that sold at the Prestige auction of 7/2/2009 for $4140] The penal settlement on Norfolk Island was administered from Hobart. Norfolk Island was also the only "external" Van Diemen's Land post office. No numeral allocation was made in November 1853 when all others were assigned. It was preferred to wait until the supply ship "Lady Franklin" departed Hobart 16/12/1853. However, a mutiny forced the ship back to Hobart and the supply of stamps - and the numeral - finally arrived on Norfolk Island 4/9/1854! Several single strikes of BN '72' - of variable quality - have been recorded. Phil Collas & Richard Breckon in "Norfolk Island: A Postal & Philatelic History" state at page 13 "...
