Hello everyone,

Is this a perforated stamp or roulette !?
Or is it a trimmed perforated stamp?
When i looked up SG, it seems to suggest that no roulette or imperforated for this value?
But this stamp looks like a roulette to me...but then again, i am a beginner on all this.
Could someone share their opinion on this please.
One could see the frame lines on the bottom and right margin of the stamp, what are they represent?



Thnaks

I am reasonably sure its an old time forgery , quite common unfortunately , usually sell for plus or minus around $25.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Bugger!! Come to think of it, $25 is actually not bad if that's what it's worth, it came with a small batch of state stamps i bought around 2 years ago, so i probably paid $5 bucks for it... still ahead, not bad, i wished it was one of those intermediate perforate one

BTW, What were tell tales that lead you to that opinion if you don't mind?

The squared off bottom of the U of AUSTRALIA is the thing to look for.

On a quick count, it seems that I have 3 squared bottoms in my WA list.
