TEN PENCE' in Black on 9d yellow Printed on Both Sides SG 59a, untidy 'GPO/JA5/70/ADELAIDE' cds, Cat £950. Rare & underrated. BPA Certificate (1981). [Superior to Harry Lower's example - perfs at top slightly trimmed - that sold for $1322]

The truly remarkable aspect of this stamp is that, the surcharge being on the front only, the reverse is a 9d yellow which, of course, was never issued.
