Lot 297 Rhodesia (C) 1905 Opening Of Victoria Falls Bridge - A Group of SON Diamond Grid and CDS Town Cancels
Includes SG #'s 94, 95a
Cancellations include: #5 diamond grid for Tati; October 25, 1905 Penhalonga; October 10, 1905 Salisbury. Both the first two cancels are scarce, selling for $10-$30 each on common stamps of the period, and this is a premium issue. The #5 stamp does have a diagonal crease and some rough perfs, and the 2.5d also has some light creases.
Gibbons lists the basic stamps at 42 GBP. Based on this, the condition and the scarcity of the cancels, we would estimate the value of the lot at $40. The stamps offered here grade between 60, 65 and 65 as follows:
Centering/Margins: 30/60, 35/60
Paper Freshness: 5/5
Colour: 5/5
Impression: 5/5
Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5
Perforations: 5/10
Cancel: 10/10, 8/10
Adjustment for above faults: -10 points
