Lot 372 Australia - Queensland SG#21 1d Indian Red , 1862-1867 Chalon Heads Issue, A Very Fine Used Single, Unwatermarked, Rough Perf 13, Light, Clear #87 Sunburst Cancel For Ipswich.

A Very Fine Used single of the 1d indian red from the 1862-1867 Chalon Heads Issue, unwatermarked, rough perf 13, light, clear #87 sunburst cancel for Ipswich.

According to my online reasearch, most of this shade are cancelled very heavily. This example is very well centered, with intact perfs and a scarce cancel. This shade is very short lived and the majority of rough perf 13 stamps are orange vermillion or rose. So the top tier estimate Google gave us is $3,200, and the low end is $1,800. It confirms that Gibbons price of £75 applies to either a heavily cancelled, off center Indian red, or a VF rose shade.

Gibbons values this at £75, so we estimate it at $1800.
