AUSTRALIA
1918 1d deep carmine-rose KGV Head (shade = G30) with the variety ‘die II substituted cliché [advanced state]’ [plate position = IV/34], used – no thins, tears or bends. Has a Starling certificate.
This is the very late state of the substituted cliché, showing a great deal of deterioration of the soft copper metal that was used to make the units that replaced the rusted clichés. This wear of the substituted unit has resulted in the top of the crown being completely worn away and the corners of the frames becoming very rounded, the very late state also shows breaks in the outer frame lines.
