 | Lot #500 BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AUSTRALIAN STATES - Victoria 1860 2d gray-lilac, with Error of Watermark Single-Lined "6", well centered, neat Melbourne duplex date head of OC26,63. One of the great Victorian rarities, and almost certainly the finest recorded example (Geoff Kellow on page 124 states "Only three or four used copies are known, one being in the Royal Collection. All are used in Melbourne and one is dated 26 October 1863"). The third example was discovered in 1897 but has not been seen by modern collectors. The bona fides of the reputed fourth example have not been established. Thus, this is the only example confirmed in private hands, ex-JRW Purves, illustrated in "Stamps of Victoria" on color Plate 8, also ex- Rodney Perry, with his 2006 certificate, also 2014 Royal Philatelic Society of Victoria certificate (last sold in 2014 in Prestige Auction No.192, lot 3169, hammer AUS $23,000) O Catalog #SG 101ab Catalog Value £6,500 | Price Realized $11,000.00 |

This error is described on page 163 (illustrated on color page 11 of Geoff Kellow's "The Stamps of Victoria"). Kellow states that this stamp has been discovered in 1980, but an example of the error was first recorded in 1894 (but is know to have been irretrievably lost). Based on the postmark, it is evident that the error resulted from a sheet of "8" paper being included in the "4" consignment. An opportunity to acquire the only surviving copy of the 4p Error of Watermark "8", certainly one of the greatest rarities from Victoria, ex-Rodney Perry, Rodwell, O Catalog #SG 110ca Catalog Value £8,000 | Price Realized $4,250.00 |
