Recently added to the Featured Items on our Home Page is a beautiful example of one of our favorite issues of the Commonwealth, the stunning New South Wales 1897 Diamond Jubilee Charity issue. This pair is overprinted ‘Specimen’ in red ink, and is Never Hinged. These stamps really must be seen in person to be fully appreciated. A scan cannot do justice to the shiny metallic gold ink on the 2s6d, nor to the large format of both stamps. Price: $295.
